The improper management of industrial and domestic waste in a city can cause serious damage to both living and non-living things.
1. Domestic waste, if not disposed of properly, will lead to the blockage of sewage lines and thus, mosquitoes will grow in the water and cause dengue-like diseases.
2. Improper management of domestic wastes contributes to soil pollution to a large extent and also water pollution.
3. Soil pollution is caused by the dumping of harmful chemicals generated by industries, which penetrate in soil and get mixed with groundwater.
Students of Class 11 can understand these concepts more clearly by using the NCERT Exemplar Solutions, designed by the faculty at BYJU’S.
