As part of a school project, my group is researching the effects of medical waste on the environment. How can we safely experiment with different types of medical waste to observe their impact on the environment?

Ideally, to experiment safely with medical waste you will need to set up an airtight chamber, or other similar type of experimental vessel. Once the chamber or vessel has been set up then the various types of medical waste can be introduced and monitored for any changes in atmospheric conditions within the vessel over a period of time. This time should also be monitored and recorded by external means in order to gauge the rate at which any environmentally harmful substances are released into the surrounding atmosphere by the medical waste. Additionally, measures should be taken such as wearing face masks and gloves when conducting this research in order to ensure safety precautions are taken against potential bacterial or infectious spread from being exposed directly to medical waste.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that you do not attempt to experiment with medical waste on your own. It is advisable to contact a local authority or an expert in environmental research to help set up and carry out the experiment in a controlled environment.
