Sustainable Model Study: Collection and Disposal of Waste Medications with Micropollutant Properties in the Ecosystem within the Scope of Zero Waste

Öz

Waste medications forming a very broad portion of micropollutants (with high EDC effects) are known to be very dangerous for the ecosystem and are not sufficiently treated in conventional treatment facilities leading to discharge into surface and underground water, threatening the ecosystem and human health as they pass into drinking water and soil. The metabolite products formed during cycles of these micropollutants (MP) in the ecosystem may be toxic and dangerous to the same degree or even more. Within the framework of zero-waste policies, this study was completed with the aim of finding a more permanent and sustainable solution to this important problem based on the most effective and applicable method of controlling these pollutants at the source. Ataturk University campus located in Erzurum was chosen as a pilot application area and specially-designed Waste Medication Collection Containers were placed at five different points determined by observing different factors.

Waste medications collected from the containers were emptied in seasonal periods (once in 3 months) and sent to IZAYDAS for incineration through a ministry-licensed and accredited hazardous waste intermediate storage company.

A total of 190.75 kg was collected during the first 3-month period (summer season), with 261.40 kg collected during the second 3-month period (autumn season), 310.70 kg collected during the third 3-month period (winter season) and 260.80 kg collected in the fourth 3-month period (spring season). A total of 1023.65 kg of waste medication was collected and destroyed during the one-year period. Data collected were analyzed with the SPSS statistical program (one-way ANOVA) according to seasonal changes.

In addition, social information and awareness studies (details presented in article) continue at a rapid rate.
