Abstract

Abstract: Human population generates enormous amount of solid and liquid waste directly and produces industrial effluent indirectly. Due to usage of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in the agriculture fields, man inflicts deep wounds on environment. Pollution is defined as undesirable changes occur in water, land and air. Waste generation has been observed to increase annually in proportion to the rise in population and urbanization. As more land is needed for the ultimate disposal of these solid wastes, issues related to disposal have become highly challenging.
