Coordinates: 40.318284, 72.636635 Landfills are one of the significant factors of pollution that negatively affect natural components: the atmosphere, water sources, soil, and plant and animal life. By being placed directly on the soil surface, landfills remove a significant portion of land from agricultural use and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them.
Coordinates: 40.271302, 72.616998 Any unauthorized dump is not just very unaesthetic, but also dangerous. Each such pile is a peculiar chemical laboratory, producing harmful toxins and spreading contaminated substances around itself. Atmospheric precipitation, passing through heaps of garbage like a filter, enters the soil, and then into underground waters, rivers, and lakes, altering their chemical and physical composition. An unauthorized dump, just like a legal one, is a real breeding

Coordinates: 40.316667, 73.420253 The main source of contamination of groundwater and surface water is recognized as improperly arranged landfills. By the way, one-third of all waste that is not accounted for is currently stored at unauthorized landfills in populated areas. Soils are contaminated at distances of up to one and a half kilometers. The systematic use of contaminated water leads to a sharp decrease in immunity and the development of leukemia-like diseases in humans and domestic

Moreover, the amount of modern "goods" in the lake increases year by year. Sometimes trash is retrieved from the bottom, but the amount of waste brought to the surface is incomparably less than what is thrown into the lake. The dirtiest underwater and
