Abstract

Backgrounds and Objectives: Due to having features such as toxicity, corrosiveness, ignitability, reactivity or other similar characteristics, HAZARDOUS WASTEs refer to the wastes that jeopardize man’s health and environment. A study was required to identify the HAZARDOUS WASTEs in Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), since it plays an important role in the development of the country’s education. The objective of this research was to provide a review of HAZARDOUS WASTEs production and its management at Tehran University of Medical Sciences.Materials and Methods: In this study, four schools that were in the central campus of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, were selected and the necessary data were gathered using a sampling, questionnaire, interviewing those in charge of the units, and referring to the available documents. The information includes the type and amount of waste, method of temporary storage, frequency of waste discharge, and method of final disposal of wastes.Results: The obtained results indicate that approximately 2072 Kg of HAZARDOUS WASTEs are produced each year, excluding the uncontrolled wastewater. Moreover, schools of dental, pharmacy, medicine, and public health produced approximately 993, 606, 256, 217 Kg/year, respectively, of HAZARDOUS WASTEs in the central campus. Also, the results show that, of total amount of annual HAZARDOUS WASTE that was 2.72 tons, 954, 848, 475, 427, 245, 49 Kg were wastes that the features infectious, toxicity, ignitability, carcinogenesis, corrosiveness, and reactivity, respectively.Conclusion: It is to be mentioned that hazardous solid wastes were manage with household solid waste and hazardous liquid waste were discharged into sink without any kind of control. Improper practice is evident from the point of waste production to final disposal.
