Abstract
Nowadays, the standardized management of medical waste has become an important link in improving the environment and preventing pollution. This chapter will analyze the general idea of medical waste disposal in China and analyze the problems in the operation and management of disposal technology facilities. To eliminate the environmental safety hazards of the medical waste disposal process, we should be committed to strengthening the operation management and supervision of the medical waste treatment and disposal technology process, combining with the emergency needs of medical waste treatment and disposal in China, and improving the emergency management system for medical waste treatment and disposal.
