Question:

Is risk if a melted plastic bag fall on our body and burn if the sheet is from recycled plastic ,frm hopitals?

my doubt is that if the plastic used for recycling may be any medical things such as blood bags,cyringe(used for injuction,etc) the viruses from that material goes alive in the new material made frm recycled plastic?

Answer:

burning plastic is toxic. hot burning plastic will burn skin and clothes.
Hospitals never use recyled plastics. All their medical stuff are not from recycled plastics. So don't worry about that
It sounds like you have a fear of germs/virus'. I cannot say that I know for fact, but I'm pretty sure that in the process of recycling products they are melted down at extremely high temperatures. Temperatures high enough to kill off all bacteria, before they are then re-assembled into the various products we use today. Also, it is highly unlikely that things such as syringes and bags containing blood and other human liquids ARE recycled. Those things are considered Hazardous Waste and are placed in specifically designed sealed waste bins, and disposed of safely. It would be incredibly irresponsible for a hospital to recycle such products, as you've suggested, and it would also leave them open to millions of lawsuits! Can you imagine? I am sure that the plastic bags you see have been recycled from other plastics such as.. bags, pop bottles, laundry detergent bottles and the like..
