Spontaneous non-reclaimable dump with frequent fires
A landfill is a serious source of environmental pollution. Deep within the garbage pile, decomposition processes occur, involving anaerobic bacteria. As a result of this process, toxic biological gas is released, one of the components of which is methane.
Deep soil contamination occurs, foul air is carried by the wind over long distances, and if groundwater lies beneath the landfill, it is practically poisoned by toxins. Thus, the nearest water bodies are toxic and dangerous for humans. The soil remains unsuitable for use for several hundred years after the landfill is closed.
The size of illegal dumps is increasing at a catastrophic rate. They consume fertile land, lead to the destruction of local flora and fauna, expand to nearby settlements, and poison people.
