The Biocarb Company wants to build a sterilization plant to treat contaminated medical waste in a city neighborhood where residents and environmental activists fear that such a facility will pollute the area  Biocarb' s president argues that the operation of the plant cannot cause pollution because the waste would be sterile after processing by the plant
He claims that after exposure for an hour to superheated steam in the autoclave, such refuse would be far cleaner than food prepared in the cleanest kitchen
Fear of pollution is the only argument against construction of an autoclave facility for medical waste.
