According to the provisions of the National Hazardous Waste List and the Medical Waste Classification Catalogue, medical waste may contain a large number of raw microorganisms and harmful chemicals, and even radioactive and damaging substances, and it is strictly prohibited for any unit or individual to transfer, trade and buy medical waste.

Article 338 of the Criminal Law stipulates that illegal discharge, dumping or disposal of hazardous waste of more than three tons can be regarded as serious pollution of the environment, and criminal responsibility shall be investigated for the crime of environmental pollution.

However, why do some people do it secretly? The answer is in two words: profit.

Our reporter has roughly clarified this interest chain after investigation.

Treatment of medical waste < p>

There are special procedures

Yongkang for example, Yongkang Health Bureau business section Ni Chenfeng said, the city a total of all kinds of hospitals and other 29 larger medical institutions.

First of all, the major hospitals and health centers collect their own medical waste, village clinics, small clinics of medical waste by the local health center or community service center unified collection.

Then, these medical wastes are handed over to the legally qualified "Laiyi Park Company", after harmless treatment, and then buried.

This process is very strict, and the intermediate handover should be registered. Take the First People's Hospital of Yongkang City as an example. Huang Jinlian, chief of the prevention and Protection Department, said that medical waste is divided into five categories, namely infectious waste, pathological waste, injurious waste, pharmaceutical waste and chemical waste. Syringes, for example, belong to infectious waste. Every day, two full-time medical waste handlers in the hospital collect medical waste from different departments according to classification.

When collecting medical waste, the handlers should take a scale with them and the weight of each type of waste should be recorded. In the afternoon, after handing over the clinical waste to Laitas Park, the handlers are asked to take back a receipt, which records the type and weight of the waste collected by the company.

"The hospital checks every day to make sure that the type and weight of the waste collected by the company matches the type and weight of the waste collected by various departments, so as to avoid the medical waste entering the irregular circulation channels."

In November last year, Yongkang First People's Hospital produced 20 tons of medical waste.

"Now Yongkang has to dispose of 30 to 50 tons of medical waste every month, and 500 tons a year." Laiyi Park officials said that in all these years, there has been no leakage or illegal trading of medical waste in Yongkang. "The health bureau is very strict in the management of medical waste. Once a medical institution is found to be illegally trading medical waste, it will definitely be disqualified from operating."

According to legal procedures to deal with

A ton of spending more than two thousand

Let specialized agencies deal with medical waste, is to spend money. The reporter found on the website of the Beijing Development and Reform Commission, the Beijing Development and Reform [2011] No. 771 document indicates: in 2011, Beijing Gaoantun medical waste treatment plant, the price of treating a ton of medical waste is 2407 yuan.

For example, Yongkang First People's Hospital, Golden lotus said: "Every year the hospital light treatment fee will pay nearly one million yuan."

Then, by secretly selling medical waste, you can not only save the disposal fee, but also sell some money.

Although the current circumstances of this case are unknown, the shadow of hospitals has often appeared in previous cases of medical waste reselling.

2010 exposure of Tangshan Fengnan District Huida Hospital scalping medical waste case, 2011 Zunhua City Houjiazhai Township health center scalping medical waste case, media unannounced visits found that hospital personnel directly involved in scalping, and the hospital is at least a glance closed.

For the middle processors such as a road in this case, 5 cents into 1.2 yuan to sell, profitable, can take risks.

As for the downstream injection molding factory, the prosecutor of the case said that because the material of medical supplies is good and the raw materials are good, they can be made into soap boxes, drinking water buckets and children's toys.

This black chain is thus formed. The ultimate victims, of course, are those of us who use plastic products.
