Abstract

ABSTRACT Waste has become a pivotal public health and environmental problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this interdisciplinary review, we move beyond the ‘coronalitter’ and ‘coronawaste’ discourses, which have come to dominate public imaginaries of waste, to consider less-visible dimensions of waste infrastructures and systems . We demonstrate how waste is coming to matter in new ways that offer opportunities for reconfiguring health research. By examining the literature addressing the impacts of COVID-19 on the geographies of waste, we shed light on how waste is being problematised and researched through logics of public, environmental, and occupational health. We argue that these logics structure understandings and practice, whilst drawing attention to the overlaps and limits that allow links across disciplinary silos and problem domains to be forged. Developing a multi-logics approach, the paper outlines a research agenda for approaching waste as a critical public health problem at a time of intersecting health crises.

COVID-19期间的废物处理工作:公共、环境和职业卫生的逻辑

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，废物已成为一个关键的公共卫生和环境问题。在这篇跨学科的评论中，我们超越了“冠状垃圾”和“冠状废物”的话语，这些话语已经主导了公众对废物的想象，考虑到废物基础设施和系统的不太明显的方面。我们展示了废物如何以新的方式变得重要，为重新配置健康研究提供了机会。通过查阅有关2019冠状病毒病对废物地域影响的文献，我们了解了如何通过公共、环境和职业健康的逻辑对废物进行问题和研究。我们认为，这些逻辑结构的理解和实践，同时提请注意重叠和限制，允许跨学科竖井和问题领域的链接被锻造。该文件制定了一种多重逻辑方法，概述了在交叉的卫生危机时期将废物作为一个关键公共卫生问题来处理的研究议程。
