The Disposal of Harmful Waste

根据gēn jù2016年nián的de数据shù jù,中国Zhōng guó大dà中zhōng城市chéng shì生活shēng huó垃圾lā jī为wéi18850.5万wàn吨dūn,医疗yī liáo废物fèi wù约yuē为wéi72.1万wàn吨dūn。

据jù此cǐ估算gū suàn,当年dàng nián有害yǒu hài生活shēng huó垃圾lā jī约yuē为wéi180多duō万wàn吨dūn,约yuē为wéi同tóng年nián医疗yī liáo废物fèi wù量liàng的de2.6倍bèi。

有害yǒu hài生活shēng huó垃圾lā jī数量shù liàng大dà,但dàn中国Zhōng guó对duì其qí收集shōu jí、处置chǔ zhì还hái处于chǔ yú起步qǐ bù阶段jiē duàn。

有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī,主要zhǔ yào分为fēn wéi行业háng yè源yuán和hé家庭jiā tíng源yuán危险wēi xiǎn废物fèi wù。

其中qí zhōng家庭jiā tíng源yuán危险wēi xiǎn废物fèi wù主要zhǔ yào包括bāo kuò废fèi药品yào pǐn及其jí qí包装bāo zhuāng物wù,废fèi杀虫剂shā chóng jì和hé消毒剂xiāo dú jì及其jí qí包装bāo zhuāng物wù,废fèi矿物油kuàng wù yóu及其jí qí包装物bāo zhuāng wù,废fèi胶片jiāo piàn,废fèi灯管dēng guǎn、废fèi温度计wēn dù jì、废fèi血压计xuè yā jì、废fèi电池diàn chí以及yǐ jí电子类diàn zǐ lèi危险wēi xiǎn废物fèi wù等děng。

针对zhēn duì医疗yī liáo废弃物fèi qì wù、工业gōng yè危险wēi xiǎn废物fèi wù,中国Zhōng guó已经yǐ jīng建立jiàn lì起qǐ了le较为jiào wéi严格yán gé的de回收huí shōu处置chǔ zhì制度zhì dù,但dàn公众gōng zhòng对于duì yú废fèi电池diàn chí、废fèi温度计wēn dù jì、废fèi杀虫剂shā chóng jì等děng日常rì cháng生活shēng huó中zhōng产生chǎn shēng的de有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī危害性wēi hài xìng却què认识rèn shi不足bù zú,部分bù fen有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī流向liú xiàng不明bù míng。

专家zhuān jiā建议jiàn yì应该yīng gāi加强jiā qiáng基础jī chǔ工作gōng zuò,比如bǐ rú:首先shǒu xiān,加强jiā qiáng针对zhēn duì有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī的de制度zhì dù设计shè jì。

其次qí cì,完善wán shàn城市chéng shì基础jī chǔ设施shè shī建设jiàn shè规划guī huà,保障bǎo zhàng有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī回收huí shōu处理chǔ lǐ和hé其他qí tā人员rén yuán、资金zī jīn等děng的de需求xū qiú。

第dì三sān,制定zhì dìng优先yōu xiān管理guǎn lǐ和hé收集shōu jí废物fèi wù品类pǐn lèi,加大jiā dà有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī处理chǔ lǐ技术jì shù的de研发yán fā和hé设施shè shī建设jiàn shè。

第dì四sì,加强jiā qiáng有害yǒu hài垃圾lā jī分类fēn lèi的de宣传xuān chuán工作gōng zuò,开展kāi zhǎn人员rén yuán培训péi xùn,对duì相关xiāng guān管理guǎn lǐ提供tí gōng支持zhī chí。
