✌️ $5\: Hospital\: Pollutants\: Are$ ✌️

$\huge\green {Mercury}$

• Mercury can be used in thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, thermostats, fluorescent lights, and other products found in hospitals.
• At room temperature, mercury is a liquid and emits toxic vapors, which can be inhaled into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Mercury is very toxic to humans. It impacts the kidneys, liver, respiratory system, and central nervous system.

$\huge\green{Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)}$

• PVC is used in plastic products such as IV bags, surgical tubing, other medical supplies, and construction materials.
• PVC is a source of HAPs. Some hospitals incinerate their waste onsite.
• Burning medical waste can produce dioxin, a potent carcinogen and that interferes with normal reproduction and development at low doses. EPA's Health Effects Notebook has more information related to the health effects of dioxin.
• National air pollution standards exist for hydrogen chloride (HCL), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), particulate matter (PM), dioxin/furans, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)
• EPA has developed regulations for medical waste incinerators and for ethylene oxide emitted from commercial sterilizers.
