This hundreds of tonnes of waste materials released in solid
, liquid and gaseous forms lead to myriad diseases and infections and very often become the roots of epidemic and pandemic. As a result, millions of lives are at stake and cause a big crisis in the countries' and the global economy. The World Health Centre has been trying its best; insisting the nations to get rid of the various hazards caused by waste materials.
All the aforementioned problems can be tackled easily if and only if we have a proper waste disposal system. We cannot stop releasing waste even on a single day. But we can always dispose them in a proper hygienic manner. Modern science has developed new and effective ways of waste management and many countries all across the world have already adopted them and many other are in the process of adopting. They use the latest technology and segregate the waste materials into bio-degradable and non-bio-degradable and dispose them properly. Moreover, the waste materials are used for recycling to manufacture many useful items of daily use while many others are used for making compost etc. to help in agriculture. The good news is that this new waste management technologies are extremely cost effective and energy saving and are easy to operate in any nook and corner of the world. It has become an extremely profitable enterprise too besides protecting our health.
Many countries are now collaborated to work together for waste management with transfer of technology and funds etc. It is indeed a foolish idea to start working only when the waste materials start causing gruesome epidemics and pandemics. We must note the old saying, "prevention is better than cure." And here we have the most profitable and effective mode of prevention which can help saving the lives of millions of men and women across the globe. As all have learnt from history about the unfortunate bubonic plague which killed thousands of people in Europe once upon a time. Also, still many people in the Third World Countries are suffering from diseases like malaria, typhoid and sundry which aggravate the health and financial sectors of the countries. Therefore, it is imperative for every one of us to follow the waste collection in a hygienic manner and its disposal with the help of modern technology.
