Regulations for medical waste incinerator emissions that were required by the Clean Air Act of 1990—but passed only three years ago—have changed the economics of this practice. U.S. hospitals must now retrofit their incinerators with costly scrubbers that remove or neutralize dioxins, furans, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and the heavy metals lead, cadmium, and mercury to meet those regulations.
Many hospitals and medical centers have found it more economical to replace their on-site incinerators with alternative waste treatment technologies, primarily microwave systems or steam autoclaves, or send waste to treatment companies that are equipped with disinfection technologies.
