Solution
Throwing an empty packet of food on the railway platform is an improper waste disposal method.
- Empty food packets are solid wastes that must always be disposed of in nearby dustbins as these wastes may reach open drains and choke the pipes. Choking of pipes further blocks free flow of oxygen that can hamper the waste decomposition process. [1 mark]
- Accumulation of such solid wastes at the railway stations, can also generate large amount of wastes that can convert busy public places unhygienic and must be disposed of properly to prevent epidemic break out. [1 mark]
