In fact, the problem of sewage wastewater discharge, whether it is the waste water generated by factories or domestic sewage, etc., these need to go through disinfection and sterilization treatment, and then do wastewater monitoring to confirm that the indicators are qualified and safe before they can be discharged. So what happens when medical wastewater is discharged without monitoring its treatment?
In a complex place like a hospital, the source of wastewater is also more complex, not just a single area. Hospitals have wards, consultation rooms, laboratories, X-ray photographic rooms, operating rooms, washing clothes and other places that produce wastewater, and the quality of wastewater produced in each place will be different, very complex. In addition to some conventional harmful substances, there are a large number of viruses, pathogenic bacteria and chemical agents, which are latent and acute infectious diseases. If it is discharged directly without proper disinfection and sterilization treatment, the consequences are unimaginable.
Below We Will Understand the Harm of Medical Wastewater!
In fact, the discharge of medical wastewater will cause great harm to water resources, which has already become one of the sources of harm to our health, if the possibility of virus infection in the wastewater, it will cause water pollution. Because in the process of hospital operation, it is difficult to avoid producing some direct or indirect toxic, infectious and harmful wastewater. Whether it is directly discharged into the city sewer or wastewater treatment plant, it is not acceptable. How to put it?
If the hospital is not treated first, it is directly discharged into the wastewater treatment plant, in fact, many wastewater treatment is not equipped to deal with the complex water quality of the hospital, under normal circumstances, it is first treated in the hospital, and then discharged into the wastewater treatment plant for secondary treatment of medical wastewater, so as to ensure “safety”. If it is not treated and discharged directly into the sewer, the situation is even worse, it will cause serious pollution to the water and soil, and in serious cases, it will cause various diseases, and there may be an outbreak of water-borne infectious diseases. Knowing this, would you still say that medical wastewater should be discharged directly without treatment?
In fact, the relevant departments have customized the discharge standards of medical structure water pollutants, the staff of the medical wastewater disinfection, sterilization treatment, and then through different indicators of the water quality monitoring instrument to detect the indicators, to observe whether the indicators of water quality are qualified, and then confirm the qualified discharge.
In addition, it should be reminded that because most of the hospitals are disinfected by adding chlorine, the staff must pay attention to control the amount of total residual chlorine, and monitor the total residual chlorine online analyzer to ensure that the residual chlorine will not exceed the standard and cause harm.
