Mention two ways in which the decomposition of waste in open areas can affect human health.

Answer»

• Rodents, insects and other vermin attracted to open dump sites may pose health risks. Dump sites with scrap tires provide an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can multiply 100 times faster than normal in the warm stagnant water. 

• If solid waste is burnt it may release harmful gases which can harm the health of nearby people.
