Retos pos pandemia en la gestión de residuos sólidos

Abstract: INTRODUCCIÓN. La crisis inducida por la pandemia de COVID-19 no solo ha desequilibrado el sistema de salud, también ha perturbado la dinámica global de generación de residuos, al punto, de modificar la composición y cantidad de desechos. Entre ellos, la generación a niveles insostenibles de residuos sanitarios, siendo los equipos de protección personal (EPP) como las mascarillas, los de mayor proporción. Así como, el aumento desmedido en la generación de residuos de envases de plástico y plásticos de un solo u… Show more

“…The study findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on household SWM, which is consistent with the research of Sharma et al 30 According to Klemeš et al, 73 the COVID-19 crisis has not only affected the health system but it has also caused disruptions in SW generation, resulting in a significant change in waste composition and volume. 74 Therefore, Parra 29 suggests that there has been a rise in domestic SW. Similarly, Tripathi et al 28 assert that the use of single-use plastics and protective equipment has surged since the pandemic was declared.…”

“…The implementation of sanitary measures against SARS-CoV-2 brought as a main consequence the alteration of the social dynamics in the generation of waste; besides causing changes in its composition. Among these changes derived from the pandemic is the excessive generation of sanitary waste, such as syringes, supplies for taking samples and all those materials that are part of personal protective equipment (PPE), which in a high percentage consist of face masks [22][23] [24] [25]. The increasing generation of waste around the world implies the recognition of a critical scenario in the environmental aspect, many of these, such as masks, are single-use, and are also associated with the release into the environment of plastics that degrade into microplastics that reach aquatic systems, beaches and the ocean affecting marine life [26] [27].…”
