besides tradition of throwing garbage in the river could lead to silting of such fast, flooding also
contaminate surface water sources such as decaying garbage. So in reality garbage has been
polluting the soil, air and water in the city. Based on the description above, the impact of waste
on the health of the environment:
1. Impact on Health uncontrolled waste disposal well is a suitable place to be some organisms
and appeal to a variety of animals such as flies and dogs that can cause disease. The potential
danger posed is as follows: - Diarrhea, cholera, typhoid spread quickly because virus originating
from improper waste management can be mixed with water. DHF can also increase rapidly in
areas with inadequate waste management. - Fungal diseases can also spread (eg skin fungus). -
Toxic waste; It has been reported that in Japan about - about 40,000 people died from consuming
fish contaminated by mercury (Hg). This mercury is derived from waste were thrown overboard
by factories producing batteries and accumulators.
2. Environmental Impact Fluid against seepage garbage into drainage or river will pollute the
water. various organisms including fish can die so that some species will be lost and this has
resulted in changes in ecosystems biological waters.
3. Impact on Social Economy - poor waste management can form environment less pleasant for
people, bad odor and bad sight because garbage strewn where - where. - Providing a negative
impact on tourism BUSINESS WASTE CONTROL To handle the waste problem as a whole
needs to be done alternative correct processing. The most appropriate technology for solving
masalaha is culling technology trash-efficient in the use of land by controlled burning or
incineration by means Incenerator wear. In addition it also uses net reduction principles applied
in everyday example by applying the principles namely 4 R (Reduce, Reuce, Recycle and
Replace). In everyday life, and can performed by anyone to reduce the volume of waste and
prevent disease transmission can be performed between Other: - Shopping should not be
wasteful, needs carefully calculated - Bring a shopping cart that can be used repeatedly, thereby
reducing plastic waste - Strive leaves as wrappers for crushed leaf litter ground - Do not waste
input into the gutter rivers or the sea. - Kitchen waste and leaves for compost, paper for
