Approval and promulgation of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators: State Plan for designated facilities and pollutants: Idaho. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Direct final rule.

EPA is approving the State of Idaho's section 111(d) State Plan for controlling emissions from existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). The plan was submitted on December 16, 1999, to fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act. The State Plan adopts and implements the Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing HMIWIs, and establishes emission limits and controls for sources constructed on or before June 20, 1996. EPA has determined that Idaho's State Plan meets CAA requirements and hereby approves this State Plan, thus making it federally enforceable.

Experience with a medical waste portal monitoring system.

A portal monitor was installed to detect radioactivity in trash and laundry leaving the hospital facility. Experiences with selection, installation, calibration and detection capabilities are reviewed. Also reviewed are the topics used in training hospital employees on proper use of the monitor and response detected activity in trash or laundry.

[Research on the biological risk in the hospital environment].

The epidemiological monitoring of injuries due to exposure to potentially infected biological liquids constitutes the indispensable premise for the elaboration of strategies meant to intervene to reduce the incidence. This work shows the results of an epidemiological study relative to the period going from January 1, 1994--December 31, 1998 elaborated by the use of the register of injuries deposited with the Sanitary Direction. The variables shown here allowed us to individualize the prevalence of injuries in the various professional categories, the working zones, the type and form of injury, the use of individual protection devices. The analyses of the data has shown a scarce sense of risk by the sanitary workers and a scarce application of protective measures. It's evident of the need to intervene in the formation of the workers to sensibilize then to the importance of preventive measures.

[Present-time problems of medical waste].

To handle medical garbage is a urgent problem in Russia, which has been poorly solved so far. This kind of garbage is epidemiologically hazardous and may contain radioactive substances. The published sanitary rules have approved five hazard classes for medical garbage. Little attention is paid to technologies of their elimination.
