Dioxins as well as furans, that are human carcinogens and have also been linked to a variety of harmful health effects, can be produced when materials that contain or have been managed with chlorine are burned. The dissemination of harmful metals in the environment can result from the combustion of heavy metals or materials with a high metal concentration, particularly those containing lead, mercury, and cadmium.
Care professionals, personnel who manage patients, medical waste, and their relatives, and the local community can all be endangered by poor waste management.
