[Assessment of Medical Waste Disposal Technologies Based on the AHP].

Five types of medical waste disposal technologies that are currently applied in our country were analyzed and compared such as the rotary kiln incineration method, pyrolysis method, high-temperature steam sterilization method, chemical disinfection method, and microwave disinfection method. The five methods were quantitatively evaluated and screened using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Based on this process, the ranking weights of optimal and suboptimal alternatives were studied using sensitivity analysis.
