Question

Which of the following is a hazard when the solid wastes are not managed properly

• A. Animals eat them and die
• B. It chokes the drainage system of the place
• C. They accumulate in dumping yards and pollute the environment
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

About 10 per cent of solid waste generated in a city is nondegradable plastic-mostly carry bags, sachets, and bottles. A good part of this plastic is never collected. Such items choke drains and worsen the monsoon floods. Animals eat them and die. The solid wastes collected properly are dumped which will eventually pollute the environment.
