8. Health Impacts of Improper Waste Disposal 8 With increase in the global population and the rising demand for food and other essentials, there has been a rise in the amount of waste being generated daily by each household. Waste that is not properly managed, especially excretions and other liquid and solid waste from households and the community, are a serious health hazard and lead to the spread of infectious diseases. This leads to unhygienic conditions and thereby to a rise in the health problems. Disposal of hospital and other medical waste also requires special attention since this can create major health hazards. This waste generated from the hospitals, health care centers, medical laboratories, and research centers such as discarded syringe needles, bandages, swabs, plasters, and other types of infectious waste are often disposed with the regular non-infectious waste.

9. Environmental impacts of Improper Waste Disposal 9 Methane – a big factor of Climate Change A major environmental concern is gas release by decomposing garbage. These gases is their contribution to the enhanced greenhouse gas effect and climate change. Impacts of Waste to Human Health and the Environment

10. Environmental impacts of Improper Waste Disposal 10 Loss of Biodiversity Demands for new landfill sites results in the clearing of large amounts of vegetation and alterations to the natural environment. This can displace hundreds and thousands of species which live in the surrounding habitat. Impacts of Waste to Human Health and the Environment

11. Environmental impacts of Improper Waste Disposal 11 Pollution If a landfill site is not properly managed, a toxic pollutant known as leachate can escape into the surrounding groundwater, causing environmental problems for plants and animal living nearby. Leachate is a liquid pollutant caused by waste breaking down that contains high levels of heavy metals, chemical compounds, pesticides, and solvents which filter down into the bottom of a landfill site.

12. How can we eliminate waste and help the environment? 12 We can help by learning about and practicing the three R’s of waste management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle. REDUCE - Reducing waste is a matter of planning ahead. In the case of food, for example, there are many ways to reduce waste. REUSE - Shop secondhand. It helps others make money off their unwanted items. At the same time, it keeps old items out of the landfill and saves the resources and energy needed to make new ones. RECYCLE - Don’t just toss everything in the trash. Lots of things (like cans, bottles, paper, and cardboard) can be remade into either the same kind of thing or new products.
