Legal analysis: According to the Measures for the Management of Medical Waste in Healthcare Institutions, at present, the treatment methods of medical waste mainly include sanitary landfill method, high temperature incineration method, pressure steam sterilization method, chemical disinfection method, electromagnetic wave sterilization method, pyrolysis method and plasma method, etc., which have different impact parameters of the treatment process as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages. This is the current direction of domestic medical waste treatment research and development. Sanitary landfill method is the final disposal method of medical waste, the principle is to bury the garbage into the ground, through the long-term decomposition of microorganisms, so that it decomposes into harmless substances. If the landfill system of medical waste does not have impermeable measures, all kinds of toxic substances, pathogens, radioactive substances, etc. will seep into the soil with rainwater, and the harmful substances will enter the human body through the food chain, jeopardizing human health. Therefore, sanitary landfills need to be scientifically selected and paved with clay, high-density polyethylene and other materials to prevent seepage, but also must be set up to collect and output pipelines of landfill gas, so the use of landfill disposal method must be very careful, and must be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the strict pre-treatment of medical waste.
