ABSTRACT: Using method to disinfect hospital waste in Gillan province because of population density and high groundwater levels as well as touristic area, the pollutions and controlling them need special management and planning. This research is cross sectional in terms of studied time and it is applied in terms of purpose. The studied population is governmental hospitals of Gilan province. The effects were studied by identifying health and environmental, biology and ecology, social and economic standards, use of incinerator and annihilator under the various scenarios and by using survey of related professionals and experts and then by using quickly assess matrix method. Results related to the chemical physical environment showed that the annihilator system with 12 negative scores has more negative effects compared with 4 negative scores of incinerator .But an incinerator is more important due to huge negative impacts on the air quality. Biological and ecological consequences showed annihilator system has more chance with 3 negative scores compared with 20 negative scores of incinerator. Diagram related to socio-cultural components showed that annihilator with 73 positive scores has better place compared with 37 positive scores of incinerator. Annihilator system is more acceptable economically from the point of view of experts, although it has 34 negative scores but economically it is more affordable compared with 47 negative scores of incinerator.
