Environmental processing of waste at public health facilities

Abstract

and, in particular, the waste of medical institutions - the activities of healthcare institutions. The development of the issue of environmental safety and human health protection has drawn attention to the role of waste, which is an echolocation of the effectiveness of the healthcare system and a source of danger to human health. The experience of many countries that have developed in this direction has shown that the most important condition for addressing the environmental safety of waste management is the categorization of waste as hazardous and non-hazardous according to their physical and chemical characteristics using consistent, comprehensive methods and technical means for effective incoming waste handling, “design” of sites for the separate collection and storage of waste, the use of waste as an alternative source of energy - substitution of raw materials and thus dramatic reduction of the concentration of waste, and the development of the renewable waste treatment system - the setting of standards for the restriction of waste flow to the environment and control of waste into the atmosphere, water, and soil, and as a result, the prevention of extreme pollution and the regulation of the environment on an appropriate level and protection of man from morbidity.
