Harm of medical waste
1, environmental pollution. Medical waste will pollute the atmosphere, groundwater, surface water and soil. Garbage is piled up in the open air, resulting in a large number of harmful gases such as ammonia and sulfide, which seriously pollutes the atmosphere. Pathogens, heavy metals and organic pollutants carried by medical wastes will cause serious pollution to surface water and groundwater under the action of rainwater and leachate produced by biological hydrolysis.
2. Human health. Medical waste contains a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, which are often breeding grounds for mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and mice. These germs can be transmitted to humans through organisms in garbage. There may be harmful substances such as chemical pollutants and radioactivity in medical waste, which is extremely dangerous.
3. It is also the main cause of cross-infection and air pollution in hospitals. Cross-infection caused by medical waste accounts for 20% of the cross-infection rate in society.
