Other than land, wastes which are majorly from production industries are also being disposed of in water bodies. With the increased population resulting in land becoming scarce, people are finding themselves living close to hazardous waste sites. This, in turn, has resulted in them being exposed to the hazardous waste which they either ingest by drinking water contaminated by these wastes or by breathing in these hazardous wastes. Hazardous wastes tend to affect human health negatively. Some of the health effects associated with hazardous wastes include behavioral abnormalities, genetic mutations, cancer, physiological malfunctions as well as deformation.
