18 01 02 Body parts and organs, including blood vessels and preserved blood (except those mentioned under code 18 01 03)
Waste associated with care of newborns, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases in humans represent a special category of hazardous waste. This waste includes body parts and organs, as well as blood vessels and canned blood. By their very nature, these wastes contain biological and chemical materials that can cause serious harm to both the environment and human health. Management of such waste requires strict compliance with environmental and sanitary standards.
The waste problem, which includes body parts, organs, blood vessels and preserved blood, has several aspects. This waste is generated as a result of medical procedures such as surgery, laboratory tests, blood transfusions and other medical interventions. Waste generated during newborn care deserves special attention, as it may contain biological materials that require specific treatment. Waste management, collection and treatment services: Body parts and organs, including blood vessels and preserved blood (except those specified under code 18 01 03) NPV code 18 01 02.
This waste has a high level of biohazard because of the potential presence of infectious agents that can cause the spread of disease. It is also important to consider that these wastes may contain chemicals used for organ preservation or blood preservation, which may be toxic to the environment and human health.
The main problems associated with this category of waste:
- high danger to health due to the risk of spreading infectious diseases;
- potential toxicity of chemicals used for storage and preservation of organs and blood;
- difficulty in environmental management of such waste, which requires special equipment and skills;
- insufficient number of specialized enterprises for safe processing of such waste
- the need for strict transportation and handling controls to prevent environmental pollution and risk to human health.
Body parts and organs, including blood vessels and preserved blood (except those specified under code 18 01 03). Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 18 01 02. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13.
A pity for the environment and people
Waste, which includes body parts, organs, blood vessels and preserved blood, poses a serious threat to the environment if not treated properly. The main danger is the potential contamination of soil, water and air with toxic substances that can be released from these wastes. Chemical preservatives used to preserve organs and blood can enter the environment, causing long-term contamination.
In addition, improper storage and treatment of such waste can lead to water pollution, which can have catastrophic consequences for local ecosystems. Infectious agents contained in these wastes can cause epidemics among wild animals, and also affect the quality of water used for drinking or agriculture.
Main environmental risks:
- pollution of water resources with toxic substances and infectious agents;
- release of toxic gases during improper processing and storage of waste;
- long-term soil and groundwater pollution;
- impact on local ecosystems and biodiversity due to the spread of infections;
- Danger for agricultural products due to soil and water pollution.
Pity for people
The danger to humans from waste that includes body parts, organs, blood vessels and preserved blood is significant. The main threat is the possibility of infection with infectious diseases if this waste is not treated properly. Workers involved in the transportation, processing and storage of this waste are under constant threat of infection, which can lead to serious illness and even death.
In addition, chemicals used in organ preservation and blood preservation can cause toxic reactions, especially if mishandled. This can cause poisoning of workers involved in the processing of such waste, as well as people living near the places of their storage or processing.
The main risks to human health:
- risk of infection due to contact with biological materials;
- toxic effect of chemicals used for preservation;
- possibility of spread of infectious diseases among the population;
- increased risk for medical workers and waste management personnel;
- danger for people living near waste storage sites.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to minimize the negative impact of waste, which includes body parts, organs, blood vessels and preserved blood, it is necessary to apply modern methods of ecological waste management. One of the most important aspects is to ensure that these wastes are properly collected, sorted, transported and treated (D13) in accordance with established standards and regulations.
Methods of environmental management of waste body parts and organs, including blood vessels and preserved blood (except those specified under code 18 01 03), must include strict compliance with sanitary and safety regulations, which will ensure a minimum risk for workers and the environment. It also includes the use of specialized equipment and technologies for processing such waste.
Basic measures to reduce harm:
- development and implementation of effective technologies for processing and disposal of waste;
- increasing the qualifications of waste management workers;
- ensuring proper transportation of waste parts of bodies and organs, including blood vessels and preserved blood (except those specified under code 18 01 03);
- strengthening control over compliance with environmental and sanitary standards;
