2. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OF WASTE
DISPOSAL?
• Disposing of waste has huge environmental impacts
and can cause serious problems.
• Some waste will eventually rot, but not all, and in the
process it may smell, or generate methane gas,
which is explosive and contributes to the greenhouse
effect. Leachate produced as waste decomposes
may cause pollution. Badly-managed landfill sites
may attract vermin or cause litter.
3. WASTE DISPASAL
• Incinerating waste also causes problems, because plastics tend to
produce toxic substances, such as dioxins, when they are burnt.
• Gases from incineration may cause air pollution and contribute to acid
rain, while the ash from incinerators may contain heavy metals and
other toxins.
4. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Soil Contamination: Contamination occurs
by spilling and burying hazardous
components in soil. So, we need to be
watchful of how we process petroleum
hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, heavy
metals and lead.
5. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Water Contamination: Rainfall easily mixes to toxic
liquid substances and seeps into the water streams to
end up in nearby water bodies. Thus, the
neighbourhood fountain, pond, lake or even drinking
water taps are susceptible to the dangers of
contamination.
• The victims? All living organisms including us,
humans.
6. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Extreme Weather Caused By Climate Change: Firstly, harmful
greenhouse gases are created from decomposing waste. These rise up
to the atmosphere and trap heat. This adversely causes extreme
weather reactions in the form of storms and typhoons.
• How else are we impacted? Well, apart from temperature what is also
drastically affected is the level of precipitation in the air. From acid rain
to severe hail storms or global warming
7. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Air Contamination: Let’s talk about the ozone layer first. A lot of it leaves us
feeling hopeless for we feel unable to make necessary changes. We think we
cannot consume any less. Even so, we can, at least, follow strict protocol over
how it’s recycled.
• On the occasions paper and plastic are burned at the landfill, causing landfill
gas, the chemicals released which accumulate and contribute to the ozone
layer and also hurt the surrounding human population. Methane gas adds to it
as well. Besides, with chemicals such as dioxin out there, the air has been
proven to have harmful effects on us.

8. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Harm Towards Animal and Marine Life: Despite
strict measures to stop it, we keep seeing the
continual dumping of garbage, raw or untreated
sewage. Any animal or marine life coming in
contact gets impacted in the worst of ways. The
inevitable formation of algal bloom and clusters
contaminates and eventually suffocates marine
life such as coral and fish.
9. NEGATIVES EFFECTS OF WASTE
DIPOSAL
• Human Damage: Consider the majority of the human
population where we do not see any scientific waste
management system. Such places may possess a
system, but there is no disposal area to be found.
• Those who are at significant risk are:
• Children and those who live near such facilities
• Waste disposal workers
• Employees whose workplaces manufacture or come
into contact with waste materials
10. SOLUTIONS
• A lot of countrys now are implementing some proces leaders of
the states send a lettle that should guide the popullation
environmental policies in the coming years.
• The main initiatives focus on launching an ecological atlas and a
national environmental system with the aim of protecting major
resources, pursuing environmental crimes and boosting the
green economy and environmental ethics.
