Abstract:
Medical wastes are posing a growing threat to the environment and human health. A good system design serves as the guarantee for successful and efficient practice of medical waste handling. Laws and decrees have been enacted, which has put medical waste handling onto a legal track.However, this era of building sustainable economy calls for clarifying the meaning and principles, and building a core system for medical waste handling. Such a core system plays a key role not only for minimizing resources consumption and better protecting the environment, but also for the guidance and standardization of medical waste handling.
