Abstract

Today, environment is an important issue in the world politics and global economy as much as it is crucial for human life. Environmental deterioration, which is occurring in different forms of pollution, has now become a global issue. It not only effects the ecological environment but also influences economic and political environment. Today’s environmental problems include global warming leading to climate change, water pollut ion contributing to human health problems, deforestation resulting desertification, destruction of species, ozone depletion, increasing urban and industrial wastes, etc are interrelated and the root cause of all these issues is the improper utilization of natural resources. Coming to the Indian scenario, the environmental challenges include air pollution, water pollution, garbage, and pollution of the natural environment. One of the major source of pollution directly effecting human health is improper maintenance of trash and garbage which is a major place of breeding of flies and rats causing epidemics. Indian cities alone generate more than 100 million tons of solid waste a year which is a major issue for handling and disposal. In this paper I will present the methods of waste dumping to be followed, namely landfills and also discuss the laws our government has made in special reference to Municipal Solid wastes with case studies.
