  • Abstract:
  • The open burning of polythene is a widespread practice in many areas, often driven by convenience and inadequate waste management systems. However, this seemingly simple disposal method carries profound environmental risks that cannot be ignored. When polythene is ignited, it emits a hazardous cocktail of toxic pollutants, including dioxins, furans, and fine particulate matter. These contaminants severely degrade air quality and pose serious health threats, such as respiratory diseases and increased cancer risks. The resulting ash and residue further contribute to soil and water contamination, creating a vicious cycle of environmental degradation. Moreover, open burning of polythene is a significant contributor to climate change, releasing greenhouse gases that exacerbate global warming. This abstract calls for immediate action: we must implement effective waste management strategies and enhance public awareness to combat the dangers of open burning. By promoting sustainable disposal practices and reducing plastic consumption, we can protect our environment and public health for future generations.
