There are different ways of treating medical wastes. Medical waste disposal Florida has follows different treatment processes like incineration, mechanical or chemical disinfection, irradiation or microwave. After following any of the treatment types, the wastes can already be disposed in a general landfill together with other normal trashes. Before, these procedures are exclusively done by the hospital management but as time goes by, since they are using different tools and equipments and it can take too much of their time and man power, they already hire someone from private sectors to do it for them. These people are the ones who will be collecting, treating and disposing the wastes.
Even though the private companies hired by hospitals to do the tasks have already finished the job multiple times, they are still double checked to make sure that they have already done it perfectly and that the trashes are free of any microorganisms that can cause infections. The test is done through a microbiological spore test indicator. This is used regularly to check if the initial treatment made by the company was effective.
Even though how sure the company who did the treatment is that they have already done their part, a second inspection will be done. This is to really make sure that aside from the procedure that they have followed, there will be a deeper test so there will be no problems at all after disposal.
The waste goes through the machine on a belt. Because most of this kinds of trashes can be incinerated, they do not have to be segregated at all. They can go through the machine altogether. This procedure can reduce the volume of the entire wastes, sterilize it, and eliminate the need for another pre processing procedure.
The disadvantage that this treatment has is pollution. Although it eliminates the chances of infection, it contributes to the destruction of the environment. This is because of the gasses that it lets out.
It does so because of the toxic gasses that it is producing while the burning process is being done. It will undergo emission testing but it still would not suffice to avoid pollution. The major reasons of this would be the production of dioxins and furans during the whole treatment process.
Autoclave is done through sterilizing the trashes. This is somehow a way of recycling used equipment by steaming and has also been done for a century already. Everything that undergo autoclave also has to undergo a process called compaction. This is done by shredding right after the treatment so that it can longer be recognized and can not be re used for any purposes.
After the two processes, everything will already be disposed the way usual trashes are disposed. Unlike incineration, this process is not advisable for pathological wastes. It is because of the factors that are easily recognized after the treatment. Pathologicals may also contain some low levels of cytotoxic compounds or radioactive materials.
Proper waste disposal should not just be practiced with medical garbage. It is always best to make sure that garbage in any forms are being dumped accordingly and will not cause any harm to the people or the environment. Keeping ourselves and our surroundings clean reflects us, so we better learn how to do things accordingly.
