Garbage Harm to Water

The pollution of garbage to the environment The harm of garbage to the environment has a great immediacy and potential, with the increase in the number of ecological and resource destructive damage exists, posing a great threat to human health. Garbage harm to the environment are: (1) Pollution of the water environment Garbage in the landfill or landfill project, produce a large number of acidic, alkaline, toxic materials industry, life discharged out of the mercury, lead, cadmium and other wastewater, infiltration of surface water or groundwater caused by the black odor of the water body, the shallow groundwater can not be used, the deterioration of water quality, the existence of the national 60% of the rivers of ammonia nitrogen, volatile phenol, permanganate contamination, fluoride serious exceeded the standard, the loss of self-purification of water bodies, the water body of the water, and the water pollution. Excessive fluoride, loss of self-purification function of water bodies, affecting the reproduction of aquatic organisms and the utilization of water resources. (2) Pollution of the atmospheric environment In the garbage area, due to incineration or long time stacking, the garbage rots and molds, releasing a lot of bad smell, sulfur and other toxic gases, dust and fine particles flying with the wind, resulting in excessive sulfur dioxide suspended particles in the air. Acid rain phenomenon dust pollution occurs frequently. (3) erosion of land According to statistics, China produces 3 billion tons of garbage every year, about 20,000 square meters of arable land is forced to be used to pile up and store garbage. Land degradation, desertification phenomenon is very serious. More due to a large number of plastic bags, scrap metal and other toxic substances directly landfill or left in the soil, difficult to degrade the serious erosion of the land, resulting in hardening of the soil, alkalization of the ability to retain water and fertilizer decline in crop yields, or even extinction of crops affect the quality of crops. (4) Hazards to human health in the garbage, toxic gases scattered with the wind, sulfur dioxide in the air, lead content increases, so that the incidence of respiratory diseases, the human body constitutes a carcinogenic hazard. Excessive pollutant content in groundwater triggers diarrhea, schistosomiasis, and trachoma; for example, a dysentery epidemic in Guiyang City was caused by the infiltration of groundwater by garbage and a serious exceedance of E. coli bacteria. (5) Impact on economic development According to the survey, 70% of China's garbage has a utilization value, if all the recycling, it can make a profit of 16 billion yuan per year, which is extremely beneficial to economic development and increase jobs. On the contrary, it will cause greater waste of resources, resource constraints and ecological disorders are getting worse. In the end, will inevitably affect and hinder the smooth development of the economy.
