Question

What precautions should be taken while throwing wastes in the drains?

Answer 1

Precautions that should be taken while throwing wastes in the drains are:

• Do not dump solid food waste such as tea leaves, sanitary towels, polythene bags, soft toys, and other items down the drain.
• Do not dispose of used cooking oil or fat in the kitchen sink since they might solidify and clog the drain.
• Do not dispose of substances such as paint, solvents, pesticides, or pharmaceuticals down the sink.
