Abstract：Disposal of infectious waste is a pivotal step in biosafety management in laboratories. The Chinese government has issued constitutional laws and statutes on disposal of infectious waste for averting pollution. During our 3 years management of a biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory, we encountered some contradictions in the disposal of infectious waste, including the package of solid infectious waste for sterilization and disposal, damage to the autoclave by disinfectant used in treating the waste, and disposal methods for liquid infectious waste. Additional experiences from our management of a BSL-3 laboratory are discussed.
