Effects of Improper Solid Waste Disposal

Over time pollution has grown to become a very concerning and controversial issue worldwide especially since it poses serious threat to the public and to the environment. Extensive research and studies conducted have since been able to identify improper solid waste disposal as one of the main causes of pollution.

How Solid Waste Can Be Destructive

This unfortunate revelation has lead authorities to plead with the public to exercise safe disposal practices as well as to impose heavy penalties to violators as failure to do so can be very detrimental to the population and the planet collectively.

Water, air and soil pollution all occur when they become contaminated with hazardous materials that impede natural renewal processes, harms wildlife and contributes to a possibility of a widespread, greenhouse, gas, effect. Pollution can occur in many forms however by practicing recycling, energy conservation and proper waste disposal pollution can be significantly controlled or even eliminated.

When water is contaminated with foreign substances, like chemicals, medical waste or fertilizers its chemical composition is altered making it harmful to use. By discarding these hazardous materials in toilets or drains it is highly likely that this can lead to the interference of waste treatment processes and cause effluents that run into the ocean to be polluted resulting in harm to marine life. So again proper disposal of waste and waste products should be strictly emphasized to ensure safety.

Soil contamination occurs if hazardous chemicals come into contact with the soil. These chemicals are later absorbed by plants which further transmit these substances to other organisms that utilize these products,some of which include humans. Industrial waste is a common pollutant of soil and comprises of chemicals and solid waste.

These pollutants that penetrate the soil chemically alter it so that it doesn’t support the growth of vegetation. The vegetation that does grow is often marred by the presence of destructive chemicals and is especially harmful when consumed by organisms. The effect of this practice is very dangerous and poses serious health risks to those use these contaminated products.

Air pollution is another very serious and dangerous form of pollution. This is mainly because the effects are widespread and can affect more than just a community but a whole population. Built up waste creates soot and smog in the atmosphere and results in poor air quality, reduced oxygen levels for plants and vegetation and increased rates in respiratory diseases.

In addition, the exposure of gases such as carbon monoxide and methane to the air contribute to the creation of the greenhouse gas effect which has a pretty negative impact of the earth. Here the natural blanket that protects the earth and filters safe warmth to its surface is obstructed by the accumulation of these gases. This accumulation makes it difficult for heat and light to reflect back into space and results in heating that is not suitable for many ecosystems.

So given all the negative effects that have been highlighted from the causes of pollution. Persons should be particularly careful to promote and exercise all the necessary practices to eliminate any form of pollution. This effort is expanding more and more to encourage young and old alike to take care of their environment for the benefit of the earth and all its inhabitants.Contact us at Junk King Marin and learn more on how you can contribute positively to the environment.
