1, how to properly dispose of discarded masks
1, in the medical institutions, you can put the mask directly into the medical waste garbage bags, masks as medical waste, will be centralized by the professional treatment institutions.
2. For the general public:Because of the low risk, the used masks can be directly thrown into the garbage can.
For people suspected of having infectious diseases:Used masks should be handed over to the appropriate staff for disposal as medical waste when attending clinics or undergoing investigations.
For people with fever, coughing, phlegm, sneezing and other symptoms, or those who have been in contact with such people: it is recommended that the masks be disposed of in the garbage first, and then disposed of by using 5% 84 disinfectant solution in a ratio of 1:99 and spreading it over the masks. If you don't have disinfectant, you can also use a Ziploc bag to seal the mask and dispose of it in the trash.
Two, I live in some of the phenomenon of throwing masks
I live in a neighborhood, the higher health department to all neighborhoods are configured with a mask collection box, so that people will be discarded masks thrown to the box inside. But the neighborhood residents basically did not throw the masks here, are the masks along with the garbage thrown away, mask recycling box has become a decoration.
It is hoped that the general public in accordance with national regulations will be thrown masks to the disposal box inside, reduce pollution, and contribute to the construction of ecological homes.
Three, do a good citizen to comply with the regulations and systems
In some public **** occasions set up a lot of garbage disposal boxes, but some people just do not comply with the provisions of the garbage will be thrown anywhere, which not only causes damage to the environment, but also very unfavorable to their own future can only be left behind to the children and grandchildren is a bad environment, so that the Protecting the environment is for the benefit of future generations.
Four, to comply with the provisions of the epidemic prevention
At present, the country has a lot of over the epidemic prevention regulations, each of us ordinary people have to comply with. For example, in and out of the neighborhood sweeping code, temperature measurement, registration, do not throw masks, etc., these provisions we all comply with, the prevention of epidemic work to be able to achieve victory.
Some people not only do not comply with the rules, but also damage the environment by throwing used masks anywhere, which damages the environment and creates a hidden danger for everyone.
Don't take the good little not to do, don't take the evil little to do, we start from the drop, do civilized people, do abide by the social order people.
Five, discarded masks on the environmental impact
According to the latest report released by the marine conservation organization OceansAsia, at least 1.56 billion masks into the ocean in 2020, these masks to the ocean increased 4680 ~ 6240 tons of plastic pollutants. According to France? Clean Ocean Action? organization, it takes at least 400 years to degrade a mask. Disposable masks are non-degradable, and if they are thrown around, the harm to the environment is incalculable.
In short, we hope that everyone will comply with the regulations and be more standardized in dealing with discarded masks.
