Analysis of the composition and the degree of toxicity 
of medicobiological wastes has been performed with the use of the 
results of investigations made in different countries. It has been 
shown that such wastes are highly hazardous to ecology and a universal 
technology of their management is needed. We have developed and tested 
a plasma chamber incinerator for plasmothermal treatment of medicobiological 
waste. To optimize the operating conditions of the facility and prevent 
chemical and thermal pollution of the environment, we have constructed 
a model of thermal calculation of the plasma chamber incinerator.
