Waste disposal

    What are the impacts of this issue

The storages of non-utilized and toxic industrial waste are the sources of the enveronment pollution ( the atmospheric air, surface and underground waters), especially during natural calamities (earthquake, fire, landslip). If there is no any protection, they can become the reason of mass poisoning of people and animals.
Badly organized, spontaneous dumps of consumer waste also pollute the environment, and during hot seasons may become the sources of infectious illnesses and insects. The cases of inflammation of such dumps are not seldom, and the atmospheric air is polluted by toxic products of waste combustion, as well as by the evaporation of defferent consumer chemicals, including toxines for killing insects. Stifling smoke and evaporation are especially dangerous for children, ill and old people. There are no any special researches of harmful influence of waste storages on the condition of the environment.
