Coordinates: 42.449654, 72.995341 Illegal landfills of solid municipal waste (SMW) pose one of the main threats to the environment, particularly in terms of soil and groundwater contamination. Since such landfills are not properly managed, the waste stored in them undergoes uncontrolled decomposition, releasing toxic substances into the environment. As a result, both surface and deep layers of soil, as well as aquifers, become contaminated, which can have long-term negative consequences for

These natural resources are widely used in construction, cement production, brick making, and other industrial materials; however, their extraction leads to the destruction of mountain landscapes, disruption of ecosystems, and deterioration of environmental quality. In mountains, where ecosystems are particularly fragile and crucial

Coordinates: 42.452038, 72.757024 Old animal burial sites are places where the remains of animals that died from various diseases or were destroyed to prevent the spread of epidemics are buried. Although such burials are an important biosecurity measure, over time they can become a serious threat to human health and the environment. The danger of burial sites is often underestimated, especially if they are located in areas not equipped according to modern sanitary standards. This article will

Coordinates: 42.445882, 72.684380 Landfills (official sites for the storage, disposal, and burial of waste) must comply with a number of international norms and standards to minimize negative impacts on the environment and human health. These norms are developed by international organizations such as the UN, the European Union, the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as national regulators. Here are the main mandatory characteristics and standards that a landfill must meet: Distance from
