Zusammenfassung: | This invention comprises of a machine and a process for treating and disinfecting biomedical hazardous waste. The subject of waste disposal has become of paramount importance in allthe industrial countries in recent years. Very few members of the general public are aware of the huge quantities of medical waste produced by hospitals, laboratories, clinics and physicians offices. In Ontario for example , more than 10 000 tonnes of regulated medical waste is generated annually by the health care community. This includes blood and blood products, cultures and stocks of infectious agents "sharps" (needles, razors etc.), as well as pathological wastes. Due to the increase in the use of disposable surgical products, it is anticipated that the amount of such waste will grow significantly by the end of the decade. |
