What are the consequences of littering? What should you do?

1. Pollution to water environment: During the process of garbage stacking or landfill, a large number of acidic, alkaline and toxic substances are generated, and wastewater containing mercury, lead and cadmium discharged from domestic garbage seeps into surface water or groundwater, causing the water body to smell black, the shallow groundwater can not be used, and the water quality deteriorates. 60% of rivers in China are polluted by ammonia nitrogen, volatile phenol and permanganate, and fluoride seriously exceeds the standard, and the water body loses its self-purification function, which affects the reproduction of aquatic organisms and the utilization of water resources.

2. Pollution to the atmospheric environment: In the garbage area, due to incineration or long-term stacking, garbage rots and becomes moldy, releasing a large number of toxic gases such as stench and sulfur, and dust and fine particles flying with the wind, resulting in excessive suspended particles of sulfur dioxide in the air. Acid rain and dust pollution often occur.

3. Land erosion: Land degradation and desertification are very serious. More importantly, a large number of toxic substances, such as plastic bags and scrap metal, are directly buried or left in the soil, which is difficult to degrade and seriously corrodes the land, leading to soil hardening and alkalization, reducing the ability of water and fertilizer conservation, reducing crop production or even stopping production, and affecting crop quality.

Garbage should be sorted and put in the right place.

The purpose of garbage classification is to improve the resource value and economic value of garbage, strive to make the best use of it, reduce the amount of garbage treatment and the use of treatment equipment, reduce the treatment cost and reduce the consumption of land resources, which has social, economic and ecological benefits.

Garbage belongs to the public's private articles in the stage of classified storage. After being classified by the public, it becomes a regional public resource in the community where the public is located. Classified transportation to garbage collection points or transfer stations becomes a non-exclusive public resource. Judging from the classification methods of municipal solid waste at home and abroad, most of them are classified according to the composition and output of garbage, combined with the resource utilization and treatment methods of local garbage.
