Abstract
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic, the intense spread of which fell on the first quarter of 2020, caused a global emergency and exacerbated, among other things, the challenges in waste management. The problems associated with increased volume of wastes and the search for possible solutions have come to the fore. Of particular concern is used personal protective equipment (masks, gloves, etc.). The amount of food and plastic waste has also increased during the pandemic, forcing emergency treatment and disposals. This study emphasizes the challenges of increased waste disposal during the pandemic. Failures to observe adequate waste management practices during the COVID-19 pandemic carries potential risks for waste management personnel and increases the risk of virus transmission. Consequently, procedures and instructions on handling of COVID-19 wastes should be carefully followed in order to reduce the risk of the virus spreading through healthcare facilities, communities and public venues.KeywordsAgriculture studyWaste managementPandemic
