Trash-to-stem incineration systems were seen in the late 1970s as one solution to the energy crisis. A decade later, they are being viewed as a response to the rapidly growing waste disposal crisis. However, in the interim, public fears of pollution from these systems have stemmed their popularity. Hospitals, which are confronted with the need for efficient and cost-effective methods of trash handling, must determine whether these fears are valid and, if they are not, learn how to combat them to allow trash-to-steam incineration systems a role in overall waste management strategies.
垃圾转化为蒸汽焚烧系统在20世纪70年代末被视为解决能源危机的一种方案。十年后，它们被视为对迅速加剧的垃圾处理危机的一种应对措施。然而，在此期间，公众对这些系统造成污染的担忧抑制了它们的普及。医院面临着高效且具成本效益的垃圾处理方法的需求，必须确定这些担忧是否合理，如果不合理，要学会如何应对这些担忧，以便让垃圾转化为蒸汽焚烧系统在整体废物管理策略中发挥作用。
