Abstract:

 


As a result of daily
activities, besides domestic wastes, many hazardous wastes also come out. These
wastes constitute hazards in terms of environment and human health. Taking
these potential hazards into account, waste must be disposed of in such a way
as not to jeopardize the environment and human health. Looking at the overall
hazardous wastes, it appears that dental wastes are a small fraction. Although
it is thought to be a trivial part, it is in fact an important waste resource,
with poor management, complicated infection risk and even heavy metal output
from materials such as amalgam. Therefore waste characterization and
composition should be determined to develop appropriate waste management
systems. Just as dental residues are found in many countries, management of
"medical waste control" is carried out by regulations in Turkey as
well. In this study, it was aimed to determine the composition and
characterization of dentistry wastes of Samsun city center. For this purpose,
wastes of faculty of Dentistry, 2 dental clinics and 2 private dental examinations
were taken and studied in two different days. In this study, wastes are
classified by type, so that percentage distributions are calculated and
quantities are examined.
