Expanded Information:
p>The treatment technology of medical waste is still in the groping stage in China, and the preferred method is still not mature enough. The relevant treatment technologies are broadly divided into three categories: ① high-temperature treatment methods, such as incineration, pyrolysis and vaporization; ② alternative treatment methods, such as chemical disinfection, high-temperature and high pressure steam sterilization, dry thermal disinfection, microwave treatment and safe landfill method; ③ innovative technologies, such as plasma technology, radiation technology. [6]
Used to deal with medical waste has been a variety of technologies, according to the different principles of treatment, generally can be divided into sterilization and disinfection method, incineration, plasma Due to the medical waste has a full-space contamination, acute contagion and latent contamination, etc., the characteristics of the microorganisms contained in its harmfulness is the ordinary household waste of dozens, hundreds or even thousands of times, such as improper treatment.Will become a source of hospital infections and social and environmental hazards, more serious can become the source of disease epidemics. Medical waste contains varying degrees of bacteria, viruses and harmful substances. And the organic matter in the waste not only breeding flies and mosquitoes caused by the spread of disease, and in the decomposition of corruption released ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other malodorous gases, generating a variety of harmful substances, pollution of the atmosphere, endangering human health.
At the same time, it is also the main cause of cross-infection and air pollution in hospitals, and the cross-infection caused by medical waste accounts for 20% of the social cross-infection rate. The method, pyrolysis method and sanitary landfill method, etc..
