Abstract

Hazardous medical waste is a very serious source on human health and environmental system،

The disposal process of hazardous medical waste is carried out in several stages: collection، sorting، storage، transportation and treatment، and ending with the final safe disposal. The final disposal phase is an important stage from these stages. The landfill or burial is one of the most important methods of waste final disposal process. This is done by using waste dumpsters with specific specifications prepared for this purpose. It is important in this regard to determine the location of sanitary dumpsters، which need to determine their places accurately، in a way that does not adversely affect the environment، and provide adequate safety means، by using scientific methods as a substitute for the traditional means of self-experience and decision-makers experience. From here the study importance in Sohag city،
where Sohag is one of the areas that suffer from medical waste management and disposal problem in accordance with the principles and standards of health and safety the public، Where the reliance on the means of burning only for the final disposal of tit at the complex of incinerators in (Kawther) area، Sohag city، which is not contain any sites for the burial of hazardous medical waste.
