Abstract

In this paper, the differences regarding hospital waste management, specifically regarding the legal and technical situation and the definition of hazardous hospital waste in four member states (Austria, Belgium, Germany and Greece) are presented. All countries follow the legal guidelines of the European Union, but the technical situation, especially the possibilities for thermal waste disposal in incineration plants are different. Also, the definition and categories of hazardous medical wastes is different in the aforementioned four EU member states. The annual production amounts of medical waste in selected countries are presented, as well as criteria that lead to their classification as hazardous medical waste.
医院废物--奥地利、比利时、德国和希腊的立法框架和管理差异
本文介绍了四个成员国(奥地利、比利时、德国和希腊)在医院废物管理方面的差异,特别是在法律和技术方面的差异,以及对医院危险废物的定义。所有国家都遵循欧盟的法律准则,但技术状况,特别是在焚烧厂进行热废物处置的可能性有所不同。此外,上述四个欧盟成员国对有害医疗废物的定义和类别也不尽相同。本文介绍了部分国家的医疗废物年产量,以及将其归类为危险医疗废物的标准。
