Pathological: human excrement and medical experimental animal carcasses produced during medical treatment.
Harmfulness: abandoned medical sharp instruments that can stab or cut human body.
Medical use: expired, eliminated, deteriorated or contaminated drugs.

Pollution process:
Domestic garbage is put into black garbage bags, sharp tools such as needles and blades are put into special sharp tool boxes, and medical garbage is put into double-layer yellow garbage bags, and then put into special garbage bins-specially assigned people pass through the polluted elevator-and sent to the incinerator regularly for treatment.
