GEF/UNDP Project: Demonstrating and Promoting Best Techniques and Practices for Reducing Healthcare Waste to Avoid Environmental Releases of Dioxins and Mercury

Main Resource

The goal of this project is to protect public health and the global environment from the impacts of dioxin and mercury releases.

It will accomplish this by demonstrating practices and technologies that limit the amount of healthcare waste generated, eliminate the burning of healthcare waste, and reduce the quantity of broken mercury-containing devices that are improperly handled, discarded or burned.
