title: [Problems in medical waste handling in penitentiaries].
abstract: The urgency of the problems associated with epidemiologically hazardous waste resulting in the penitentiary system stems from that about half of the convicts seeking medical advice suffer from social diseases. In this connection the authors propose to combine Classes B and C medical waste and to consider them to be Class C (extremely hazardous substances) and to refer Class A waste to as Class B (hazardous substances). Classes A, B, and C waste results in the penitentiaries with patients with active tuberculosis should be regarded as Class C (extremely hazardous substances).
