Industrial Waste |
Just as the global environment is deteriorating rapidly, so too has World deteriorated over the past few decades. Air pollution kills 6 million people worldwide every year. Ninety-one percent of the world's population lives in areas where air pollution levels are higher than those approved by the World Health Organization. Nine out of every 10 people in the world consume polluted air. Lack of proper waste management is a major cause of air pollution in our country. Air pollution causes various respiratory diseases, such as sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath, runny nose, chronic bronchitis, heart attack and cancer. In addition to air pollution, waste mismanagement is reducing soil productivity. Which changes the quality of the soil including soil erosion and weakens its bonding. Both erosion and soil removal make the soil increasingly infertile. It also destroys the balance of the natural ecosystem.
Water Pollution |
Farm Waste |
Harmful greenhouse gases are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone, etc. Problems that have become apparent due to lack of proper management of livestock waste are- groundwater pollution, air pollution, loss of biodiversity, increase in global warming, increase in sea level, etc. The stench generated from livestock waste has caused various health problems in humans and animals. Excessive consumption of harmful gases can cause death in humans and animals.
There are Two Types of Waste Products Based on Toxins
1) Toxic waste: Waste
substances such as lead, mercury, acids, pesticides, etc., which enter the
human and human body and interfere with various bodily and metabolic functions,
lead to various diseases and lead to death.
2) Non-toxic waste: Plant
and animal waste material is non-toxic waste.
Source of Waste & It’s Effects
The Concept of Source of Waste: Waste material is generated from things used in daily life.
Household Waste: vegetable peel, fish meat leftovers, leaves, fish, meat washing water, bathroom Waste is generated from unusable household items like water, plastic etc.

Industrial Waste: Waste material is generated from ash, paint, metals, organic and inorganic materials etc. of thermal power plants.
Agricultural Waste: Produced from tree stems and roots, rice husk, jute stick, coconut husk, straw, rice husk etc.
Municipal Waste: generated from urban plastic, glass bottles, cardboard, electrical items, etc.
Organic Waste: Waste material is created from organic matter such as fish, meat, food scraps, paper plates, fruits and vegetables.
Medical Waste: Hospital discharges such as limbs, cotton, gauze, medicine foil, gauze, needles, syringes, cloths etc. that are left out of the operation are waste materials.
Radioactive Waste: Radioactive waste materials such as gas from nuclear reactors, weapons manufacturing plants, etc.
Effect of Waste on Environment
Diarrhea, Jaundice |
◆ Health: Waste material spreads various diseases such as diarrhea, jaundice, worm infestation, skin diseases, typhoid, bronchitis, ulcers etc.
◆ Soil: Chemicals (pesticides,
detergents) and plastics that do not mix with the soil accumulate and
contaminate the soil. This causes harm to humans and other animals.
◆ Air: If waste products are stored in
open space for many years, it decomposes and pollutes the air.
◆ Water: Due to the use of more plastic,
plastic is being stored in the drains, as a result of which the mouths of the
drains are blocked and contaminated water cannot come out. Due to this, various
diseases are occurring.
Methods & Importance of Waste Management
Waste management is being developed to solve the terrible crisis of human civilization. In order to prevent environmental pollution, it is possible to reduce the amount of waste, waste recycling and recycling in three processes of waste management.
3 Important 'R' |
Red Reduction of waste: Plastic, polythene, these materials can no longer be reused, so their use should be reduced.
Re-use: Organic manure will
be produced if the waste materials such as vegetable peel, dung, rotten pulses
are stored and buried in the soil. Arrangements have to be made to reuse these
wastes without storing them in one place.
Re-Recycling: Arrangements
have to be made for the recycling of waste materials (old iron melts new iron)
etc. which can be used to make new things.
Process of Solid, Liquid & Gaseous Waste Management
❂ Scrubber: Scrubber is an
important device in preventing air pollution. Scrubber works as a chimney. This
device is used to heat the air, purify the air, and is used to purify various
types of pollutants and dust.
❂ Waste Separation: For
disposal of waste in urban areas, waste material which is used to make organic
manure is taken from one place to another and separated. From here, metal,
paper etc. are selected and used as raw material.
❂ Filling: Organic matter is
separated from the waste material like mobile, oil, dead animals etc. These
organic matter is filled with soil. Decomposition of organic matter is
completed in 4-6 months.
❂ Composting: The process of
decomposing organic waste material into bacteria and turning it into a month is
called composting. Composting is done by gaseous bacteria by crushing all the
organic matter with a machine. Fertilizer is made.
❂ Drainage: Clean water is
collected by discharging aqueous wastes.
Need for Waste Management
Pollution Free |
This will make the environment pollution free. Social and economic development will take place as a result of proper use of various harmful wastes. People can be made aware of the harmful aspects.
Role of Waste Management
Drainage: Drainage should be kept clean. DDT should be sprayed.
Raising Public Awareness: People need to be made aware of the harmful aspects of using plastic in the nearby hat-bazaars.
Do Not Throw Away Leftovers: Mid day meal leftovers, vegetable peels, rice starch should be stored in specific places.
Keep The Environment Clean: The classroom should be kept clean, all the garbage should be kept in the dustbin.
Disposal of Waste in Suitable Places: All household waste should be disposed of in a specific container instead of being dumped there.
Preparation of Organic Fertilizer: Organic manure should be made by taking the household waste materials together and separating them.
