waste products are not managed properly‚ it will cause a lot of bad influences to humans. The effects of improper waste management to humans are contamination of soil‚ floods‚ extinction of plants and animals‚ air contamination and depletion of ozone layer. Firstly‚ the improper waste management will bring up contamination of soil that will bring harms to humans. Normally waste products that can be recycled will be buried underground‚ so that they could contaminate the soil surrounding it. Carcinogen

How water is purified in water treatment plants Pre-treatment 1. Pumping and containment – The majority of water must be pumped from its source or directed into pipes or holding tanks. To avoid adding contaminants to the water‚ this physical infrastructure must be made from appropriate materials and constructed so that accidental contamination does not occur. 2. Screening (see also screen filter) – The first step in purifying surface water is to remove large debris such as sticks‚ leaves

chimneys design as well planning trees as they provide a good air quality. The air quality is poorer in urban areas than sparely populated areas. B- Ozone layer: Ozone layer is important because it protect earth from the UV radiations coming from upper atmosphere‚ some gazes are harmful for the ozone layer and caused the creation of a hole in that layer‚ these gazes are prohibited in the protocol of Montreal.
