Identify the waste disposal method which is used for burning hospital waste at high temperature (>670°C) in the presence of air in a properly constructed furnace.

Incineration burns hospital and other wastes at high temperature in a properly built furnace with a supply of air.

Composting is a biological process that turns organic waste into manure and involves no burning.

Pyrolysis decomposes waste by heat in the absence of oxygen, unlike air-fed incineration.

Pulverization merely crushes waste into smaller pieces without destroying it by heat.

Incineration greatly reduces the volume of infectious hospital waste and destroys pathogens.

Its ash residue is smaller in bulk but must still be disposed of carefully.
