– Column A specifies the C value of parameters and pollutants as the basis for calculating the maximum allowable value in medical wastewater when discharged to water sources used for domestic water supply..

– Column B specifies the C value of the parameters and pollutants as the basis for calculating the maximum allowable value in medical wastewater when discharged into water sources not used for domestic water supply..

– Medical wastewater discharged into a common sewer of a residential area is applied at the value of C specified in column B. In case medical wastewater is discharged into the collection system to lead to the concentrated wastewater treatment system, it must be sterilization, parameters and other contaminants apply according to the regulations of the unit managing and operating the centralized wastewater treatment system.
