Question
Why is improper disposal of waste a curse to environment?
Solution
Improper disposal of waste is a curse to the environment because it not only pollutes the environment, soil, water and air but also has harmful effects on other living organisms including humans. For example, if waste is dumped onto the ground, it will be a breeding place for many disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, etc. and their vectors such as mosquitoes, house flies etc. It will also cause soil and water pollution. The atmosphere surrounding the dumping ground will also be polluted.
