In this episode, we will discuss waste management.

Rapid population growth and increased resource consumption have caused significant environmental damage. 

Industrial processes, agricultural practices, and everyday waste contribute to water pollution via sewage, toxic chemicals, and fertiliser runoff.

The land suffers from herbicides, pesticides, nuclear waste, and landfill contents.

Furthermore, air quality diminishes due to smoke and gases emitted by power stations and vehicles.

The formation of acid rain from sulphur dioxide further threatens forests, freshwater, soil ecosystems and human well-being.
