INTRODUCTION

solid waste is any material that is discarded, useless or unwanted is considered a solid waste is not a liquid or gas. The solid waste problem is attracting increasing attention from the public that the uncollected garbage in the big lie of the roads, streets and garbage on the ground that is causing damage to the environment and save endanger public health .

Solid waste is generally classified by sector of the economy responsible for the municipalities that produce them, such as mining, agriculture, manufacturing y.

The types of solid waste disposal depend on our standard of living.

There are four types of solid waste and they are.

1) mining waste

2) agricultural waste

3) The industrial solid waste

Mining waste: In general, two main ways. First, in most mining operations, large amounts of rock and soil must be removed to get the value of the mineral. These residues are usually left on the surface of the mine and harmful to human health and the environment as a whole. Then, the operations using various technologies to extract valuable minerals materials.

These techniques range from relatively simple to sophisticated milling and classification of chemical separation process.

Agricultural waste: Agriculture is the second most common form of waste includes waste from livestock and the collection and processing of crops and trees. The amount of animal manure produced annually is estimated at 1240 million metric tons. Other wastes associated with agriculture, such as the processing operations of waste (peels, seeds, straw, stalks, sludges and similar materials), agricultural waste could bring total to about 1500 metric tons per year. Most organic waste from agriculture is about 90 percent are used as fertilizer or soil improvement activities different

industrial solid waste: from other mining sources is estimated that between 200 million and 600 million tons of solid waste per year. Includes a variety of materials such as debris, foundry sand, the remnants of the manufacturing process, sludge, combustion ash and similar materials.

These materials are hazardous to human health and other biota.

Solid Waste (MSW): Do all the waste generated by residents of the community, such as office paper and computer paper upscale mixed paper, mixed color paper, magazines, paper Bright and other documents that do not conform to the categories of high-quality paper, newsprint and corrugated cardboard.

s

municipal waste can be classified into two

i) the biodegradable or Putricible

ii) non-biodegradable putricible

Putricible , these wastes can be broken by natural biological processes in the environment and completely reduced to acceptable levels, without damage to the environment

.

, this time even called them away. These types of wastes is a major problem because it takes time to degradation, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, textiles, metals.

municipal waste is generated by a mixture of materials in homes and small businesses with very different proportions, depending on the generator (house ads), neighborhood (rich and poor), and time of year (in some sources, waste sites, such as grass clippings and leaves, add to the burden of solid waste, often equal to all the categories together.

The effect of solid waste on human health and the environment are set

The amount of solid waste can affect human health aside,

• infections of the skin and eyes are common
• Dust in the discharge of air can cause respiratory problems in children and adults
• Flies breed in exposed piles of rotting garbage and spread diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, typhoid and cholera. Mosquitoes transmit many types of diseases like malaria and yellow fever
• dogs, cats and rats that live around refusing to offer a variety of diseases including plague and flea-born disease
• intestinal and skin parasites found in workers engaged in refuse collection.

ground water pollution :. The most serious problem is contamination of groundwater from the water filters through of any material, chemicals in the material can be dissolved in water, a process called leaching. The resulting mixture is called leachate. As water seeps through the RSU, there is a leachate is the decomposition of organic matter combination with iron, mercury, lead, zinc and other metals from rusty cans, batteries and appliances. It may also contain paintings, pesticides, cleaning products, papers, inks and other chemicals. The toxic substances in waste containing contaminated water. It also allows the soil fertility and reducing agricultural activity Contaminated water may have a serious: .. the impact on all living creatures, including humans, in an ecosystem

: When solid waste is burned heavy metals like lead, toxic gases and smoke spread to residential areas. The wind also carries waste, dust and gases produced by decomposition. Putrefaction of waste in sunlight during the day the results of odors and reduced visibility.

solid waste generated by the impact of household activities like cleaning, cooking, repairing empty containers, packaging, massive use of plastic bags to carry. Many times, these wastes are mixed with biomedical waste in hospitals and clinics. There is a system of separation of organic waste, inorganic and recyclable household. Door to door collection is rarely practiced recycling containers in the community are not well managed and are usually no more than open dumps in the road.

Mismanagement and the management of solid waste households are causing negative impact on the general public, so that the degradation of the environment.

Municipal workers are most affected by the dangers of waste treatment work (risk), suffering from eye problems such as respiratory problems, gastrointestinal and skin. Those who walk in the collection of things rejected by sales through the waste also suffer from various health problems such as respiratory problems due to inhalation of particles, infection by direct contact contaminated materials that lead to headaches, diarrhea, fever and cough and colds.

growing problem of lack of solid waste collection and inadequate disposal techniques also lead to various diseases and even death of animals , especially cows, birds and stray dogs roam and sometimes searched for food waste. These wastes have different characteristics and toxic elements. Many animals such as cows, buffaloes eat the plastic food and following the death of the animal. Because ingestion of food waste that affect the quality and quantity of dairy cattle.

mismanagement and lack of technology to dispose of household waste pollute the environment we have spoken. It affects the water bodies. It the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water bodies. uncontrolled burning of solid or inappropriate, whether on land or sea, can pollute the atmosphere and the environment. The release of hazardous substances at sea or in lakes and rivers often kills the life of fish and other aquatic organisms.

due to the techniques of uncollected waste disposal and poor drainage also leads to block mosquitoes from various diseases like malaria, chicken Guinea, Wirel fever, dengue, etc occur and adversely affect human health.

incorrect and apathetic attitude towards the management of municipal solid waste has harmful effects on society and the environment that cause various diseases such as diarrhea, fever, cough and colds, headaches, etc. Guinea chicken for people who live near the local garbage, municipal workers and animals such as cows, birds that travel through the food waste. waste Free pick up is causing health hazards and environmental pollution endanger the lives of people

off.

With the increasing population of the huge waste generated every day. There is a widely used plastics, technology and other material things peak. This has given rise to different characteristics of the waste that are difficult technical problems of household management and disposal of waste.

This is a burning issue concerned with the environment environment must be carefully studied and researched all waste in the street without picking up scattered around the local cells and dumped in the city, therefore it is not the appearance of bad smells and risks to human health and to passersby.

Conclusion

There is an urgent need to manage the MSW since the time of establishing security at its disposal. The government and municipal governments must work together. It is important raise awareness of the consequences of pollution so that people become aware of the need to address this problem.

I am a professor in environmental health and I study how pollution affects people’s health. Over the course of my career, I have received many phone calls and emails from people asking for some advice or information about an environmental problem that they are having. I know some of the people who contact me, while others I do not. The people that I do not know must go through a lot of trouble to get my contact information, by searching the web or reading scientific papers or books.

From these contacts and from personal experience, I know how difficult it can be to find trustworthy and practical information about environmental health problems. To make it easier to get information and to help others facing similar problems, I have decided to post any questions that I receive and my responses in this blog. This information is just my interpretation of available information and should not be taken as the only viewpoint or solution to a problem. Having said this, please feel free to post any of your environmental health questions. I will do my best to respond!
