摘要

Fifteen years ago, most hospitals had their own incinerators to dispose of clinical waste. Because they possessed Crown Immunity, hospital incinerators did not have to meet the same standards as other incinerators and many were poorly maintained and used. I know, because I parked my car beside one for years and was resigned to the film of black ash and paper that regularly decorated it. The removal of Crown Immunity and the introduction of increasingly stringent pollution control legislation effectively closed almost all hospital incinerators in the early 1990s. Clinical waste consists of anatomical tissues, blood and body fluids, drugs, dressings, syringes and sharp instruments and any potentially infectious waste arising from patient treatment. It can pose a significant risk to health and safety and the environment, and public concern has been increased by heightened awareness of environmental and public health issues, making the safe treatment of these wastes a priority.
