This presentation puts forward the alarming concern of improper waste disposal that is hazardous towards environement. It has statistical illustrations and suggests methods to proper waste management The second part talks about accidents in rural and urban areas/

2. Types of Wastes
0 According to the Municipal solid waste management
(Management and Handling) rule, 2000, solid waste
include commercial and household wastes either in
semi solid or solid form. Examples:
0 Bio-medical wastes,
0 Construction and demolition of debris,
0 Sanitation residue, and wastes from streets
generated from residential
0 Commercial complexes, hotels and restaurants,
horticulture and sludge

3. Chemical Composition of
municipal solid wastes
0 The rising urbanization and the related
changes that it has brought about in the life
style of people, the amount and nature of
wastes are constantly changing. Broadly the
wastes may be classified into 2 types,
biodegradable mainly from food and garden
and non- biodegradable wastes from both
residential and commercial establishments.

4. Waste Management
0 Waste management is
the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing
and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually
relates to materials produced by human activity, and the
process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect
on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste
management is a distinct practice from resource recovery
which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption
of natural resources. All wastes materials, whether they
are solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive fall within the
remit of waste management

8. Landfill
0 A landfill site (also known
as tip, dump or rubbish
dump and historically as
a midden) is a site for the
disposal of waste materials
by burial and is the oldest
form of waste treatment.
Historically, landfills have
been the most common
methods of organized waste
disposal and remain so in
many places around the
world.

9. Composting
0 Composting is a method for
treating solid waste in which
organic material is broken down by
microorganisms in the presence of
oxygen to a point where it can be
safely stored, handled and applied
to the environment. Composting is
an essential part of reducing
household wastes. It can be done
inexpensively by every household
and produces a product -- finished
compost or humus -- that can
benefit the environment as a
natural fertilizer for gardening and
farming.

11. Waste Management
and Disposal Steps
0 Generation of waste and storage
0 Segregation into biodegradable and non-
biodegradable wastes
0 Recycling initiatives carried out by residents
0 Waste collection from various points and transfer to a to
to to a community bin
0 Management of wastes from the community bins and
transport to waste disposal site
0 Disposal of waste in landfills.

12. Integrated Solid
Waste Management
0 This is based on the
0 Generation
0 Sustainability of Waste
0 A specific amount of solid wastes is made to go
through various processes.

14. Introduction
0 According to World Health Organisation,
the no. of deaths caused by accidents was
estimated to be 3.5 million annually. This
figure corresponds to an avg. of 10000
deaths per day. Intl. and unintl. Accidents are
the cause of 15% of years of life lost globally
which is greater than any other cause of
death.

16. Main causes for
accidents
0 According to researches, one of
the primary reasons of accidents

that accidents could easily be
prevented if the person involved in
such an accident exercised the
proper care and diligence that was
required under the circumstances.

21. Preventing Road
Accidents
0 An Integrated Road Policy needs to be drafted.
0 Helmets and other protective gear must be worn at all
times(cycling/biking)
0 Laws pertaining to helmets, drink drive, speed measures,
road and vehicle standards, improving visibility, improving
trauma care in case of accidents, mass transport system such
as the metro rail, etc. need to be implemented all over the
country.
0 People should be vigilant at all times while on the road and
be conscious about their safety .
0 Awareness and education on road safety literacy should be
promoted.
