Toxic fumes

Waste burning, especially the burning of paper and plastic waste at dump sites, degrades the air quality and poses a serious threat to public health and the environment. The burning of these waste materials emits greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and also particulate matter and other carcinogenic substances. This causes both global warming and air pollution.

To address this issue, the concerned authorities should implement strict management policies for all dump sites, launch public awareness campaigns and adopt eco-friendly measures. These steps are necessary to combat this issue of air pollution and safeguard human health and our environment.
