| Popis: | In response to the pandemic of COVID-19, various unexpected environmental impacts in many countries have been rising. Millions of gloves and masks are used and thrown away daily around the globe. Incorrect disposal of COVID-19 waste without disinfection preparation could expose people and healthcare personnel to the possibility of spreading the infection of coronaviruses. This article finds an appropriate way to disinfect the waste of coronavirus-infected items by involving various physical factors, chemical and biological or physiological factors. Policymakers must immediately adopt disinfection technology to achieve green recovery of covid-19 waste that encourages development and sustains climate change. Regarding previously published papers and research results, this article intends to investigate the plastic pollution research status before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and outline safely disinfecting COVID-19 plastic waste. |
