The University

The prudent management of hazardous materials, from their procurement to their proper disposal, is a critical element of a departmental laboratory safety program. However, it is known that the management of chemical residues involves a high cost and few studies are carried out aiming at assisting in the implementation of this system of management mainly about educational and research institutions. This work therefore presents the economic feasibility analysis in the implementation of the chemical waste management system in laboratories of a Brazilian University. The data were obtained through a questionnaire applied to the technicians of the laboratories generating chemical residues, these being, teaching, research and clinics of the university. The economic-financial analysis has shown that the internal treatment of waste with the construction of a laboratory in the university is an unfeasible project. However, the project is feasible using the already existing structure, such as the chemistry laboratory in the idle periods. In this way, waste treatment on the university campus is feasible, in relation to the costs involved with outsourcing. However, it is necessary to ensure that the chemical standards for sewage disposal, as stipulated by the responsible bodies, are achieved.

Abstract Background A good environmental health conditions is a challenge worldwide. However, Majority of Laboratory wastes extremely dangerous to the environment, animals, and human because of increasing numbers of laboratories and health facilities especially on big cities in Africa like Khartoum state Capital of Sudan.Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out on a group included 34 laboratories in Khartoum state from February to march 2021. Approvals have taken from each laboratory and participants voluntary informed consent and the data were collected using administered questionnaire and the data were analyzed by SPSS .Result Majority of the laboratories have sharp and needles waste , biological waste of human samples mainly (urine, stool, blood) and regular waste. Followed by chemical waste, culture media respectively, and radioactive waste which is the least frequent waste in Khartoum medical laboratories.More than two thirds of laboratory personal did not get training in waste management. greater portion of laboratories have specialized company approved by authorities to collect the medical waste and treat it. similar percentage of laboratories have dustman for this job and in few laboratories the collection and treatment of the waste done by laboratory staff.Majority of laboratories staff are separating the medical sharps from other types of wastes in safety boxes and get rid of it by specialized company in medical waste. Few laboratories throw the safety box in landfill and reuse the safety box again and others burring or burning it. Majority of laboratory staff they don’t know how to manage chemical waste. Conclusion Laboratories wastes are harmful to the environment, human, and animals. laboratories staff have inadequate training in waste management and disposable .there is no unique protocol for waste management and disposal followed by laboratories in Khartoum state so jeopardize laboratorian and community .

Abstrak: Limbah bahan kimia baik sisa praktikum maupun bahan kedaluarsa di Laboratorium Kimia PMIPA FKIP Universitas Mataram perlu dikaji secara mendalam, sehingga dapat ditemukan solusi bagaimana cara pengelolaan yang tepat. Untuk menemukan formula pengelolaan yang tepat diperlukan pengkajian tentang: identifikasi penyebab timbulnya limbah bahan kimia, perhitungan jumlah limbah, mekanisme pengolahan dan pembuangan ke lingkungan. Kuantitas limbah bahan kimia dan teknik pengelolaannya menjadi indikator seberapa baik tata kelola limbah. Tujuannya adalah untuk menemukan solusi dalam pengelolaan limbah bahan kimia, sehingga dapat dijadikan dasar/pedoman dalam upaya minimalisasi potensi limbah baik pada penanganan di gudang maupun pengurangan kuantitas limbah yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan praktikum di laboratorium PMIPA FKIP Universitas Mataram. Teknik dokumentasi yang digunakan dalam pengelolaan dapat diperoleh beberapa hal, yaitu: (1) limbah bahan kimia berasal dari sisa pembuatan larutan, sisa praktikum, hasil pencucian alat, dan bahan kedaluarsa. (2). Penurunan jumlah bahan kimia yang disimpan  di  gudang  sebesar  18,5 %  dari  total  persediaan,  sedangkan jumlah bahan penyebab limbah B3 berkurang 29%. (3) Diperlukan teknik pengolahan limbah bahan kimia tersebut sebelum dibuang ke lingkungan. (4) Rekomendasi usulan  amandemen S.O.P Perencanaan, Penerimaan Bahan, Audit Gudang sehingga pencegahan pencemaran bahan kimia. Kata kunci : Bahan kimia,  Pengelolaan limbah, MSDS, Incompatibility, Standard   Operating   Procedure (S.O.P)Abstract: Hazardous chemicals and materials practicum good rest expiry Chemistry Laboratory, University of Mataram PMIPA FKIP needs to be studied in depth, so as to find solutions on how to appropriate management. To find the right formula management studies are necessary regarding: the identification of the causes of chemical wastes, the calculation of the amount of waste, treatment and disposal mechanisms to the environment. The quantity of chemicals and waste management techniques to be an indicator of how well the governance of waste. The goal is to find a solution in the management of chemical waste, so it can be used as the basis / guidelines in an effort to minimize the potential for waste both in handling in the warehouse as well as a reduction in the quantity of waste generated from laboratory experiments PMIPA FKIP University of Mataram. Techniques used in the management of documentation may be obtained several ways, namely: (1) chemical wastes coming from the rest of the preparation of the solution, the rest of the lab, the results of the washing apparatus, and outdated materials. (2). Decrease the amount of chemicals stored in the warehouses of 18.5% of the total inventory, while the amount of material cause of the B3 waste is reduced by 29%. (3) Required waste processing techniques such chemicals before being discharged into the environment. (4) Recommendations proposed amendments S.O.P Planning, Reception Materials, Audit Vault so that the prevention of chemical contamination. Keywords: Chemicals, Waste management, MSDS, Incompatibility, Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P)

Introduction: Medical waste generation during the Covid19 pandemic increased by around 30%. Sources of medical waste generation are health care activities. If medical waste is not appropriately managed, it can pollute the environment and disturb health. The purpose of the review is to identify the potential of medical waste in health-care facilities in Indonesia when the Covid19 pandemic and to review medical waste management in Indonesia. The analysis uses a systematic literature review. Discussion: The potential of medical waste during the Covid19 epidemic is infectious waste (PPE wastes), sharps waste (syringes), chemical waste (expired medicines), and pharmaceutical waste (the used alcohol bottles when rapid tests). The hazardous waste management system refers to Government Regulation No. 101 year 2014 about Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste and and Regulation of Minister of Environment and Forestry of Republic Indonesia No. P.56/MenlhkSetjen/2015 about Procedures and Technical Requirements for Waste Management Hazardous and Toxic From the Health Service Facilities. Infectious waste, sharps waste, chemical waste, and pharmaceutical waste are destroyed with incinerators. Syringe residues were damaged with a needle shredder. Residue and incineration ashes are processed using solidification. If the heavy metal content under the quality standards, then the waste can be landfill. Conclusion: The potential of medical waste during the Covid19 pandemic is infectious waste, sharps waste, chemical waste, and pharmaceutical waste. Medical waste generated must be appropriately managed. Proper medical waste management can prevent environmental pollution and the spread of disease. One of the processing of potential medical waste is incineration. The incineration system produces residue and ash waste that must further be handled so that it does not pollute the environment and disturb health.
