Pollution Prevention for Hospitals and Medical Facilities

January 8, 2002

Published by the Regional Water Quality Control Plant of Palo Alto, Calif., but relevant to any hospital or medical facility, this highly recommended paper details methods for minimizing the disposal of pollutants — such as cadmium, silver, and phenolic compounds — in the sewer system. Short, clear sections make it easy to find information for reducing pollution in the areas of nursing and patient care, radiology, pharmacy, hemodialysis, and infectious waste incineration. A section on how to plan for environmental programs within a medical facility is also helpful.
