Second, pollute the air. Garbage is a complex mixture. In the process of transportation and open-air stacking, the decomposition of organic matter produces stench, which releases a lot of pollutants such as ammonia and sulfide into the atmosphere, including 100 kinds of volatile organic gases, which contain many carcinogens and teratogens. Plastic film, paper scraps and dust fly with the wind, forming "white pollution".
Third, pollute the water source. Harmful components in garbage are easily washed into underground water by rainwater, and a large number of acidic and alkaline organic pollutants will be produced during garbage stacking or pit filling, and heavy metals in garbage will be dissolved. If garbage is directly thrown into rivers, lakes or oceans, it will cause more serious pollution. Look: plastic bottles and lunch boxes floating on the surface of Qinhuai River, plastic bags and bread paper hanging on the branches. Not only causes environmental pollution. And if animals eat white garbage by mistake, it will not only harm health, but even die.
Fourth, fire hazards. Garbage contains a lot of combustible substances, which will produce methane and other combustible gases during natural stacking. In case of open fire or spontaneous combustion, it is easy to cause fire and garbage explosion accidents, causing heavy losses.
Fifth, the nest of pests. Garbage not only contains pathogenic microorganisms, but also provides food, habitat and breeding places for mice, birds and mosquitoes and flies, and is also the root of infectious diseases.
Through the above introduction, we know what the harm of garbage to human body is. At ordinary times, we must develop good living habits, take care of nature and the earth from ourselves. In case of garbage in our life, we should classify the garbage and put it in a fixed garbage storage point.
