Abstract or project description

Safwana's literature review aims to explore the health and environmental impacts of radioactive medical waste, particularly in developing countries. By analyzing existing research and case studies from reputable sources, the review focuses on identifying specific chronic health conditions linked to long-term exposure, understanding the mechanisms behind these health effects, and evaluating the effectiveness of various waste disposal methods. The research seeks to highlight regional variations in health outcomes and disposal practices, ultimately providing recommendations for improving waste management to protect public health and the environment. This study aims to inform global health policies and promote environmental sustainability by mitigating the risks associated with medical radioactive waste.
