Decaying materials are wastes that may cause harm to one’s health.
Waste is any material that is
no longer usable and is thrown away. • There are common ailments that may result from being exposed to decaying materials. • Some of these are allergy, cholera, malaria, typhoid, dysentery, and some skin disease such as ring worm and scabies. • Malaria and dengue are diseases spread by specific type of mosquitoes. These become epidemic in places where these type of mosquito breed. • TYPHOID – is a waterborne disease. People who drink polluted water can become infected with typhoid. The garbage in this area is a good breeding place for flies. The flies can carry the disease and infect more people. • DYSENTERY – is a disease that can cause severe diarrhea. If not treated properly someone can die from it. • This is a waterborne disease that is transmitted to a person when they drink polluted water. • Proper disposal of waste should be observed in areas near dumpsites, esteros or canals to prevent them from too much exposure to garbage that will result in danger. •Good hygiene practices such as washing of hands, boiling of water, avoidance (if possible) or exposure to air. • How could people living in areas near dumpsites, esteros or canals be protected from getting sick? • Proper disposal of waste should be observed to prevent them from too much exposure to garbage that will result to damage. • Good hygiene practices such as washing of hands, boiling of water, avoidance (if possible) or exposure to air.
