Pollution problems in the chiriguana cesar

Valentina Mejía

In the Municipality of chiriguana there is a problem in the population of brisas del rio which is being affected by the residents of the Brisas del Campo neighborhood, bordering here to the sector where a lot of garbage contamination is displayed, even furniture has been found. chairs, and even dead animals. This settlement worse than an holm oak and the smells are unbearable

The main damage to health caused by the poor disposal of residuals are: acute respiratory diseases with 8.6%, followed by intestinal parasitism with 2.2%, diarrhea with 1.1%, Dengue and Malaria with 0.3% and 0.1% respectively

Causes and impacts on human health The main damage to health caused by the poor disposal of waste is fundamentally due to the increase in possible breeding sites for vectors that transmit malaria and dengue (presence of coconut shells, cans, bottles and others in the open air). Another disease is Intestinal Parasitism as a consequence of fecalism in the open air as there is no sewage system, sufficient pits and latrines with adequate conditions; This favors the proliferation of vectors and rodents, which transmit germs and parasites on their legs that are ingested by people in food and drinking water.

• The accumulation of waste is attributed to the incidence of disease transmission The flies that visit the garbage are also the same flies that roam around the houses, food and are increased the risk of contracting salmonella, which causes fever typhoid, food poisoning, gastroenteritis and other major diseases. In addition to flies, other animals that feed on garbage

Air pollution causes various respiratory diseases and other adverse health effects as pollutants are absorbed from the lungs to other parts of the body. Toxic substances in the air polluted by waste include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. In everyday life, we identify polluted air especially through bad odours, which are generally caused by the decomposition of elements and liquid waste

MEASURES TO MITIGATE THIS POLLUTION AND HEALTH AFFECTS properly separate waste I reporting irresponsible acts of throwing waste on wrong days constant hand washing Krequest vaccination programs in the population influenced by these waste to prevent diseases Epidemiological data In everyday life we identify contaminated air especially through bad odors, which are generally caused by the decomposition of elements and liquid waste, one of the most common diseases is foodborne infection resulting from the ingestion of food containing live pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella, Shigella, the hepatitis A virus, Trichinella spiralli, finally, foodborne diseases The morbidity profile of the pediatric population in the outpatient service is determined mainly by entities belonging to the group of communicable diseases, similar to what was found in related analyzes both at the departmental3, 4, 5, 6 and national7 levels, especially of the respiratory and gastrointestinal areas the morbidity profile of the pediatric population in the hospitalization service is determined by communicable diseases resulting from complications of respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary infections; To a lesser extent, there are some perinatal, surgical and externally caused (traumatic) events. In the first group, the most recorded causes were respiratory distress in the newborn (21.5%), fetuses and newborns affected by maternal conditions and complications of pregnancy, labor and delivery (15.1%), infectious diseases and congenital parasites (9.5%), neonatal aspiration syndromes (8.1%) and respiratory failure of the newborn (6.5%). Among communicable diseases, the leading cause of death was pneumonia (38.7%), followed by diarrhea and gastroenteritis (21.2%), unspecified septicemia (10.7%), inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (7, 3%) and bronchitis and acute bronchiolitis (3.4%). 59% of the external causes were accidents that obstruct breathing (excluding drowning and submersion), assaults (8.0%), accidental drowning and submersion (5.9%), event of undetermined intention (4.3%), exposure to smoke, fire and flames (3.7%), neglect and abandonment (3.7%)

conclusions

Soil contamination by garbage is generated when waste and contaminants accumulate on a surface, this causes the decomposition of waste, as well as the discharges they contain, to enter the soil and contaminate it, as well as attract various vectors such as insects., scavenger animals, generate bacteria, fungi and produce parasites; these in contact with humans can generate a considerable threat to health. Soil contamination is a problematic series, especially when most of the waste that is dumped has a long decomposition time, so the affectation is constant. It is concluded that environmental pollution is an evil that threatens the health of individuals to such an extent that it increases the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, defined as the different types of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other organisms that transmit demands such as cholera. typhus, various gastroenteritis, hepatitis, respiratory
