- Medical Waste” is
defined as all waste generated in direct patient care or in
diagnostic or research areas that is non-infectious but
aesthetically repugnant if found in the environment.
- Human blood and
blood products are classified and managed as medical waste because
of the possible presence of infectious agents that cause
blood-borne disease. Wastes in this category include bulk blood
and blood products as well as smaller quantities of blood samples
drawn for testing or research.
- The pollutants from
medical waste incinerators either exist in the waste feed material
or are formed in the combustion process. There are organic
emissions other than dioxins and furans that are generated
by medical waste incineration, but their emission rates are
usually not regulated.
- Increased State
regulations for the incineration of medical wastes are requiring
new and existing medical waste incinerators to meet strict
pollutant emission limitations. In most cases, air pollution
control equipment is required to meet new
regulations.
- Plasma pyrolysis
provides solutions for complete pyrolysis of typical hospital
waste such as cellulose polymer dressings, polyvinyl chloride
blood bags, polyurethane and silicon rubber gloves & catheters
and other disposables made of polyethylene, polymethyl
methacrylate, rubber, glass etc.
- The amount of
hospital waste generated in US hospitals is approximately 6,670
tons per day, or about 1% of the 158 million tons of municipal
solid waste produced annually.
