(2) university hospitals that dispose of all their wastes to the incinerator. The lowest mean MW generation rate (0.0115 kg bed 1 d 1) was recorded for the psychiatric hospitals. This is an expected finding, which agrees to the findings of Komilis et al. (2011), since psychiatric hospitals do not normally have the types of medical activities performed in the other HCF categories. A positive correlation between the MW generation rates (in kg d 1) and the number of official beds in public hospitals is revealed in Fig. 3. This correlation is stronger for the total medical wastes than for the IFTX + TX wastes. In the case of the IFTX + TX wastes, four large general hospitals characteristically stand out from the rest of the hospitals, due to their having much lower MW generation rates compared to the others. Similarly, one university hospital characteristically stands out from the rest, since it has a relatively very low generation rate of IFTX + TX wastes. Peak daily generation rates of the IFTX + TX wastes of public general hospitals can reach as high as 5.3 kg bed 1 d 1 (see Table 1).The mean HMWUGR from public HCF reported in this work are lower compared to the corresponding values reported by Taghipour and Mosaferi (2009) in Iran. Taghipour and Mosaferi,
