Spalování odpadů ze zdravotnických zařízení

Abstract

Waste from Health institutions represents a big danger for people and the environment. Mainly because of its infectivity, and complicated composition. Manipulation of medical waste has to fully fulfil one basic aim, which is the safty of all liquidation processes. The most common way of disposing of medical waste in the Czech Republic is to incinerate it. The Incinerator of hazardous waste, model Hoval Schiestel typ GG 14, in Znojmo hospital is designed for this type of waste. The waste from the incinerator, ashes and slag, contains dangerous substances and the used active carbon for cleaning flue gas. These samples were subjected to bacterial leaching and were analysed in laboratories in the Centre of nanotechnologies at the VSB – TUO university.
