Apstrakt

Brzi porast broja stanovnika, industralizacija i rast potražnje za sirovinama za industrijsku i medicinsku proizvodnju su doveli do stvaranja velike količine opasnog otpada. Opasan otpad se identifikuje prema svojoj toksičnosti, zapaljivosti i radioktivnosti. Odlaganje opasnog otpada u prirodnu sredinu ima značajan uticaj na zdravlje i sva živa bića u životnoj sredini. Danas veliki broj bolnica i industrijskih pogona stvara velike količine opasnog otpada. Cilj ovog rada je procena sistema upravljanja opasnim bolničkim otpadom u Erbilu. Pored toga, fokus je na upravljanju opasnim bolničkim otpadom i karakterizaciji i stanju u Erbilu. Stopa proizvodnje opasnog otpada iz bolnica u Erbilu je prikupljena za 12 meseci, u periodu od 2015. do 2020. godine. Rezultati su pokazali da je najveća količina ovog otpada nastala tokom 2019. godine. Štaviše, potrebno je povećati broj centara za spaljivanje otpada na licu mesta kao bi se smanjili troškovi skladištenja i transporta.
