    What is Improper Waste Disposal?


    -Unfortunately this practice has been identified as one of the main causes of
    pollution and is becoming a growing concern for both government
    and environmentalist as it poses serious threats to health and the environment. So to
    manage this authorities have implemented strict waste management regulations and
    heavy penalties to violators in order to enforce and promote safe waste disposal
    practices throughout the country.

    Waste Disposal are the activities and actions required to manage waste from its
    inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and
    disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management
    process.

    Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and each type has different methods of
    disposal and management. Waste Disposal deals with all types of waste, including
    industrial, biological and household. In some cases, waste can pose a threat to human
    health. Waste is produced by human activity, for example, the extraction and
    processing of raw materials. Waste management is intended to reduce adverse
    effects of waste on human health, the environment or aesthetics.

    Waste management practices are not uniform among countries


    (developed and developing nations); regions (urban and rural areas),
    and residential and industrial sectors can all take different approaches.
    A large portion of waste management practices deal with municipal solid
    waste(MSW) which is the bulk of the waste that is created by household, industrial,
    and commercial activity.

    changes making it harmful to use. Diseases like Cholera, Dysentery and
    leptospirosis are known to be spread through contaminated water and can cause
    serious health epidemics in a population.
    Another example of the dangerous effects of improper waste disposal is soil
    contamination which occurs when hazardous chemicals come into contact with the
    soil. These chemicals are absorbed by plants which are later utilized by other
    organisms including humans which as a result can cause disease or even death.
    Improper waste disposal can also interfere with the food supply as plant growth is
    impaired reducing the amount of food produced .
