Environmental Sanitation and Public Health Risks from Household Waste Disposal in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
View through CrossRef
Household waste disposal is a growing concern in India due to rapid urbanization and population growth. This study in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar examined disposal behaviours and health impacts using interviews with 60 households. Findings show common practices like open dumping and burning, leading to environmental hazards and health risks such as infectious diseases and foul odour. Despite awareness, waste segregation remains inadequate. Statistical analysis revealed age and family size negatively correlated with proper disposal, while education showed a positive correlation. The study highlights the gap between knowledge and practice, stressing the need for awareness programs, infrastructure, and behavioural change to improve sanitation and reduce health risks.
