Waste Management

The majority of us may claim to have done some research on waste management procedures. It should come as no surprise, however, that the harm has persisted despite our best efforts, although at a slower pace. We've gone a long way in terms of effectively dealing with trash, yet several major issues continue to converge and harm the world as a whole.

Introduction

We are currently dealing with environmental issues such as global warming, flash floods, and so on. People's misconduct toward waste management is one of the reasons for these issues. Some people are irresponsible when it comes to disposing of their trash. They do not consider the impact of their acts on the environment or on human health.

Improper waste disposal is when waste is disposed of in a way that is harmful to the environment. Littering, hazardous trash thrown in the ground, and not recycling goods that should be recycled are just a few examples.

According to recent studies, a substantial part of the millions of tonnes of garbage created in the United States each year is illegally handled. Unfortunately, this practice has been identified as one of the major sources of pollution, and it is becoming a significant source of worry for both the government and environmentalists since it poses substantial health and environmental risks. So, in order to enforce and encourage proper trash disposal methods throughout the country, authorities have developed rigorous waste management rules with severe penalties for offenders.

Improper waste disposal is the disposal of waste in a way that has negative consequences for the environment. Examples include littering, hazardous waste that is dumped into the ground, and not recycling items that should be recycled.

Types Of Waste

As matter exists in three states, i.e. solid liquid and gas, we have three types of wastes.

1. Solid Waste
Includes domestic garbage and other waste in i.e. food left-over, decaying fruits and vegetables and articles like cans, bottles, plastics wrappers, body parts of dead animals. It can also originate from the industries, hospitals, restaurants, offices, malls etc.

1. Liquid Waste
It includes sewage from toilets of houses, hospitals, restaurants, offices, etc., effluents from the industries, runoff from agricultural fields and oil spills. These are liquid in nature and drained into water bodies.

1. Gaseous Waste
These are mainly the gaseous pollutants released mainly from the exhausts from automobile, chimney of factories, brick kilns, burning of garbage, thermal power plants etc. The gases released are mainly carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of Sulphur and nitrogen, methane, hydrocarbons, CFC etc. They cause air pollution.
