title: [Measures for the disposal of non-regulated alternative medical wastes--effects of disinfectants on activated sludges].
abstract: Effects on activated sludges of several disinfectants with strong and wide antimicrobial ability, were investigated using an oxygen up-take method. As a results, at the maximal non-reactive concentration of disinfectants, hexachlorophene has estimated value of 6 mg/l and shows the highest toxicity against activated sludges. At the lethal concentration of 50%, the toxicity of triclosan is the strongest disinfectant.
