Unnecessary and ecological cost of hospital infection

F Daschner. J Hosp Infect. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

Hospital infection control can be accomplished with less pollution to the environment, nevertheless retaining the same standard of hygiene. Waste reduction also means cost reduction. Some examples of avoidable ecological costs are unnecessary nursing techniques, unnecessary gowning and disinfection procedures, unnecessary packing material and disposables.
