Student’s attitudes and behaviors regarding the application of personal protection measures during the COVID-19 pandemia

Abstract

A survey has established students' behavior when using personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents were shown to be aware of the risk of improperly disposing of potentially contaminated masks and gloves. They should be disposed of as hazardous waste, but leaving this waste behind is becoming a global problem. Promoting the proper management of this waste can encourage consumers to protect themselves and the environment in the future.
