Preliminary Exploration of Information Supervison System for Harmless Disposal of Laboratory Animal Carcasses and Related Wastes

Abstract

At present, there is still a lack of standardized and institutionalized management of laboratory animal carcasses and related wastes in China, and effective supervision of their harmless disposal process, especially an effective whole-process biosafety supervision system. Using computer networks, global satellite positioning systems, wireless communications, geographic information systems and other multidisciplinary cutting-edge technologies, we preliminarily established an information management system for harmless disposal of laboratory animal carcasses and related wastes, which could be closely combined with biosafety supervision to realize dynamic tracking and monitoring in the whole process. The established system can strengthen the standardization and institutionalization management of experimental animal carcasses and related wastes, promote the safety control of medical waste, prevent the spread of diseases, protect the environment and ensure human health.
