Calculating and Analyzing Carbon Footprints Associated with Biomedical Hazardous Waste Disposal
-
As the world’s atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, scientists discover more negative consequences and urge every home and business to re-evaluate their associated activities in order to mitigate their environmental impacts. In order to quantify one’s annual carbon dioxide emissions, a Carbon Footprint can be calculated based off a person or business’s routines.

As the world’s atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, scientists discover more negative consequences and urge every home and business to re-evaluate their associated activities in order to mitigate their environmental impacts. In order to quantify one’s annual carbon dioxide emissions, a Carbon Footprint can be calculated based off a person or business’s routines. This research project studied four large-scale biomedical research laboratories in order to determine their Carbon Footprint contributions due to biological and chemical hazardous waste treatment. Carbon Footprints were calculated based on carbon dioxide emissions associated with waste transport and the various forms of waste disposal. Comparing these Carbon Footprint estimates revealed that recycling and reusing lab wastes instead of sanitizing and landfilling had no correlation with decreased Carbon Footprints. Cross-country transportation of hazardous waste comprised 95% to 98% of each business’ Carbon Footprint, due to the low mileage trucks driven to disposal facilities. This project yielded research-based recommendations that will decrease many companies’ associated carbon dioxide emissions. Transporting hazardous laboratory waste to treatment facilities nearby, as opposed to across the country, will most significantly mitigate each business’ environmental impacts.
