Topsoil Close to a Self-burning Surplus Pile: Health and Environmental Risk Impost

Abstract

Fladina Folrea*

Environmental and health risk assessment is a crucial process in identifying and evaluating the potential hazards that may arise from exposure to various pollutants in the environment. One of the major sources of environmental contamination is the self-burning waste pile, which can have significant impacts on soil quality, air quality, and human health. Self-burning waste piles are often associated with uncontrolled landfill sites, where organic waste materials, such as plastics, rubber, and other waste materials, are disposed of and are set on fire by natural or artificial causes. This paper focuses on the environmental and health risk assessment of soil adjacent to a self-burning waste pile.
