ABSTRACT
Poland is one of the European countries with the highest level of production of dangerous medical waste. Although in Europe the
volume of produced cytotoxic and cytostatic waste (used in chemotherapy by oncological patients) has been declining for several
years, in Poland a reverse trend has been observed. As this waste puts the safety of medical workers and patients at risk, special
handling procedures are required to limit the harmful effect of these drugs on human health. In view of the above, the aim of
the work was to present the rules of conduct with cytotoxic and cytostatic drugs, and their waste, in Poland. Med Pr. 2019;70(3):377–91
