A Review: Effects of air, water and land dumpsite on human health and analytical methods for determination of pollutants

Abstract

Environment pollutants are found here and there in developing countries and these contaminations affect the environment adversely. A few remediation of pollution which includes incineration which is the waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste material, the waste handling practices, the recycling resource recovery, the avoidance and reduction methods, the adsorption based on nanotechnology and the bioremediation technology which appears as a cost-effective and environmental friendly approach for cleanup. Recently researches shows that various chemicals (VOCs, BTEX, heavy metals) that might be delivered into the air or water can cause unfriendly health effects which was analyzed based on sample treatments (solid phase extraction: SPE, the liquid-liquid microextraction: LLME, the magnetic solid phase extraction: MSPE) and instruments such as ET-AAS, F-AAS and GC-FID methods. The related weight of disease can be substantial, and interest in research on health effects and intervention in explicit populations and openness circumstances is significant for the development of control systems. Pollution control and determination is thusly a significant segment of disease control, and health experts and analytical chemistry specialists need to foster associations with different areas to recognize and carry out need interventions.

Health status assessment of people adjacent to temporary waste disposal sites in Khulna city, Bangladesh

“…CD community perceived mosquito and sandfly disturbances as highly severe (39.6%), while it was reported as 21.2% by the AD community. High level of disturbances by mosquito was also reported from the nearby community of dumpsites compared to the distant communities [ 11 ]. Health problems were more prevalent in CD (19.49%) than AD (9.68%), emphasizing the environmental burdens near dumpsites and the need for targeted interventions ( Table 3 , Table 4 ).…”

“…Bio-contaminants, the landfill also emitted toxic gases that cause serious air pollution [ 32 ]. Residents living near dumpsites were less satisfied with the location of their community than those residing further away from the dumpsite [ 11 ].…”

“…Results show that participants lived near the dumpsite (<50 m) faced more problems like health problems, unpleasant odor, water pollution, and liters and garbage in the street than participants lived away (50-30 m) from the dumpsites. A t -test was used to assess whether the differences noted between the ratings on the significance of the major problems by the two communities were statistically significant (p < 0.05) [ 11 ]. showed that adverse environmental conditions caused more severe problems for participants in the CD community than in the AD community.…”

“…Dumpsites are associated with many environmental problems, such as contamination of ground and surface water by leaching of inorganic and organic matter [ 5 ], air pollution due to suspension of particles covering a wide range of diameters from <0.1 μm to 100 μm [ 6 , 7 ], spreading unpleasant smells and toxic gases by spoilage and harmful bacteria [ 8 ], ecological imbalances, spread of toxic substances and heavy metals in the agricultural fields, and human and animal health hazards due to the radioactive radiation coming from the dumpsite areas [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. Values of properties and houses having a significant negative impact within the closer periphery of the dumpsites are likely to have a significant reduction of property values depending on the actual distance from the landfill [ 12 ].…”

“…Particle contaminants with a diameter of less than 5.7 μm easily induce various respiratory diseases, such as chronic rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia. If sulfur dioxide is adsorbed by the surface of suspended particles, the severity of the damage to the human respiratory system is expedited and increased [9][10][11]. Bioaerosols are types of suspended particle that includes microorganisms suspended in air (e.g., viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mold) and tiny particles (e.g., spores, pollens, and toxins) released by microorganisms [12][13][14].…”
