This article presents a discussion on environmental pollution, and waste management strategies. Whether it has a direct or indirect link, everything in the immediate ecosystem has some kind of bearing on the natural world. Pollution in the environment is caused by more than just humans; other organisms and natural disasters (such as quakes and volcanic eruptions) contribute, as well. Although environmental degradation has always been an issue, it has recently become a major danger to human civilization. The main question that surfaced when we were preparing our scientific research include: "What is the impact of the waste management on the environment?" There is widespread concern about environmental pollution today because of the many ways in which we are exposed to it on a daily basis, including through the food we eat, air we breathe, radiation we are exposed to, and water we drink. The depletion of natural resources, the loss of animal and plant species, and disruptions in global ecosystems and biochemical processes are further indicators of the effects of environmental concerns. The research findings suggest that waste management likely has serious consequences for the natural world.
