Clinical waste incineration ash poses threat to environment and human health.
Clinical waste incineration is a common method to dispose of hazardous waste, but it leaves behind a residue called clinical waste ash (CWA) that can contaminate the environment with heavy metals. Researchers have found that reusing CWA in construction and agriculture can help reduce its harmful effects. By mixing CWA with cement, it can be used in geotechnical constructions without compromising strength. This approach can help mitigate the environmental impact of clinical waste incineration ash.
