Waste Management — Impact of Waste Accumulation — Question 22

Environmental pollution is a serious problem in India due to the rapid growth of population and industries. Urbanisation has resulted in overcrowded cities, leading to problems with garbage disposal, air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and nuclear pollution, causing harm to life and the environment. This has led to an increase in airborne and water borne diseases and the spoilage of the landscape. Therefore, the need for management of waste in India becomes very important.
