Why was the Medical Waste Tracking Act enacted and what does it accomplish?
The Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988 was enacted due to public health and
environmental concerns from improper medical waste disposal. It established a tracking
system from generation to disposal, defined medical waste, mandated record-keeping
and reporting, and created a regulatory framework for safe management. The Act also
initiated a pilot program to evaluate the system's effectiveness and raised public
awareness about proper disposal practices. This ensured medical waste was handled
responsibly, protecting public health and the environment.
