| Abstract |
The paper will discuss what has been learned as a result of the following recent activities: (1) EPA's/Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory's (RREL's) state-of-the-art assessment of medical waste thermal treatment; (2) the four medical waste management workshops co-sponsored by EPA's RREL, OSW, and the California Air Resources Board; (3) the passage of the Medical Waste Tracking Act (MWTA) in 1988; (4) the two-year Demonstration Program required by the MWTA in the 'covered' States; (5) the promulgation of medical waste incineration standards by several States; and (6) EPA's/Office of Solid Waste's (OSW's) submittal of their first Interim Report to Congress. Because of the information needed to support these activities, both the Federal Government and States have conducted various studies. The paper is to discuss what has been learned as a result of these studies. |
