EFFECT OF WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICE ON WASTE DISPOSAL IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study offers a conceptual and theoretical examination of the impact of waste management practises on garbage disposal in Nigeria.It examines the waste concept and waste management. It foresees problems and proposes solutions for proper waste management in Nigeria. with a (CUDA) case study
INTRODUCTION
Solid waste was defined by the American Public Liquid Association in 1975 as unwanted and useless material with insufficient liquid content to be free flowing. Because of its sticky nature, solid waste has the potential to accumulate and physically insult and degrade the environment if not properly managed.
And is more noticeable in urban than rural settings, and has been connected to issues such as demographic inconsistencies, continuity in sanitation policies, and data availability. The increase in population as a result of the industrial revolution in major towns and cities
around the world has necessitated rapid growth or a high rate of urbanisation and development, for example; Nigeria cities have recently witnessed rapid population growth as a result of migration from rural areas to cities.
This results in a concentration of industrial, commercial, infrastructural, administrative, and government activities in metropolitan areas. Thus, as the population of cities grows, so does the pace of trash generation, resulting in greater refuse burning (in developing nations) and high levels of air pollution, which promotes global warming and, eventually, climate change.
The amount of garbage produced in every city is frequently a reflection of the intensity of human activities such as population urbanisation and social growth, resource exploitation, and unchecked technical progress.
All of these operations produced some kind of garbage. In addition, the amount of garbage produced has skyrocketed.This implies that we will have to deal with greater waste.
CHAPITRE ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Increased greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere have led the earth’s temperature to rise by 0.6 degrees Celsius over the previous century. The ten (10) warmest years of the twentieth century happened all within the past 15 years of the century, with 1998 being the warmest year on record (www.defra.gov.uk).
Thermal expansion and glacier melting are raising sea levels, which can increase the salinity of freshwater around the world and cause coastal lands to be swept under the ocean, exposing populations to an increased danger of flooding.
Precipitation patterns are changing, increasing the likelihood of catastrophic occurrences and exposing more places to water stress. Warmer water and more humidity may promote tropical cyclone formation,
and altering wave patterns may result in more tidal waves and severe beach erosion along the shore. With implications for agriculture production
These environmental changes are very likely. These environmental changes will very certainly have a detrimental influence on society, such as flooding, decreased health, and a decline in socioeconomic growth.
Developing countries, such as Nigeria, are particularly vulnerable due to poor waste management and harmful disposal practises. Climate patterns will be more disrupted as global temperatures continue to rise.
Finally, only by engaging in sustainable waste management practises and stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere can all of this be brought under control. As a result, the research will look into the impact of management practises on garbage disposal in Nigeria.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The research problem is to assess the impact of waste management practises in Nigeria. The increase in population, industrial, commercial, technological, and economic activities has resulted in an increase in the volume of waste and its impact on our environment; therefore, the formulation and implementation of an effective strategy for waste disposal management in Nigeria is critical (A case study of CUDA).
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1 What exactly is solid waste?
2 What is the environmental impact of solid waste?
3 What constitutes a good waste management practise strategy?
4 What are the CUDA management practises for good waste management practise?
1.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1 To assess the nature of solid waste in the environment
2 To ascertain the environmental impact of solid waste
3 To evaluate the approach for successful waste management practise.
4 To ascertain CUDA’s management practise for successful trash management.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
1 The investigation must include a structural analysis of solid waste.
2 It will investigate the environmental impact of solid waste.
3 The research will look into trash management solutions that work.
4 It will serve as a source of knowledge for environmental professionals.
1.6 HYPOTHESIS STATEMENT
1 H0 The amount of solid garbage in the environment is minimal.
H1 The amount of solid trash in the environment is significant.
2 H0 The environmental impact of solid waste is minimal.
H1 The environmental impact of solid waste is significant.
3 H0 The impact of CUDA waste management practises on solid waste management is minimal.
H1 The influence of CUDA waste management practises on solid waste management is significant.
1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The paper focuses on the impact of waste management practises on waste disposal in Nigeria, using CUDA as a case study.
1.8 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
DEFINITION OF SOLID WASTE.
Solid waste was defined by the American Public Liquid Association in 1975 as unwanted and useless material with insufficient liquid content to be free flowing. Because of its sticky nature, solid waste has the potential to accumulate and physically insult and degrade the environment if not properly managed.
