“…Enterococcus faecalis isolated from a contaminated dumpsite showed 100% resistance to chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and tetracycline [ 57 ] and showed that the antibiotic and metal resistance genes are frequently carried on the MGEs. A close relationship between metal resistance and AR was found in the landfill of Okhla near New Delhi, where the disposable materials mostly contained pharmaceuticals and industrial wastes [ 58 ]. This is therefore likely a reservoir for both ARGs and MRGs.…”

Potential Environmental and Human Health Risks Caused by Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARB), Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) and Emerging Contaminants (ECs) from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill

The disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) directly at landfills or open dump areas, without segregation and treatment, is a significant concern due to its hazardous contents of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and metal resistance genes (MGEs). The released leachate from landfills greatly effects the soil physicochemical, biological, and groundwater properties associated with agricultural activity and human health. The abundance of ARB, ARGs, and MGEs have been reported worldwide, including MSW landfill sites, animal husbandry, wastewater, groundwater, soil, and aerosol. This review elucidates the occurrence and abundance of ARB, ARGs, and MRGs, which are regarded as emerging contaminants (ECs). Recently, ECs have received global attention because of their prevalence in leachate as a substantial threat to environmental and public health, including an economic burden for developing nations. The present review exclusively discusses the demands to develop a novel eco-friendly management strategy to combat these global issues. This review also gives an intrinsic discussion about the insights of different aspects of environmental and public health concerns caused due to massive leachate generation, the abundance of antibiotics resistance (AR), and the effects of released leachate on the various environmental reservoirs and human health. Furthermore, the current review throws light on the source and fate of different ECs of landfill leachate and their possible impact on the nearby environments (groundwater, surface water, and soil) affecting human health. The present review strongly suggests the demand for future research focuses on the advancement of the removal efficiency of contaminants with the improvement of relevant landfill management to reduce the potential effects of disposable waste. We propose the necessity of the identification and monitoring of potential environmental and human health risks associated with landfill leachate contaminants.

“…Solid Waste Corporation Malaysia (SW Corp Malaysia) has reported several factors that may cause an increasing number of illegal dumping activities and a simple mind map stated the factors that might affect illegal dumping activities has shown in Figure 2. Illegal dumping has contributed significant impacts to the environment including land degradation, groundwater and surface water pollution due to the leachate, soil pollution and odour pollution which can attract stray animals leading disease spread [17]. The SW Crop Malaysia has implemented the action plan to cover 100% illegal dumping activities at different states in Malaysia by the year 2020 to reduce environmental impacts from the illegal dumping sites and build a sustainable development country.…”

The surrounding environment plays an important role in communities as living in a good environment can improve the health cycle, increase the quality of life and provide sustainable development for the country. The rapid growth of the human population has led to the increasing demand for infrastructure development and the construction sector in Malaysia. This overview of environmental management practice for construction in Malaysia has reviewed the overall structure of environmental management for the construction site in Malaysia. Construction management is covered in this review report, including construction waste generation, construction waste management, government bodies, government policy, the current status of the environment in Malaysia, challenges, future prospects, and other environmental considerations of environmental management practice for construction in Malaysia. Besides, the detailed guideline and orders for construction waste, effluence discharge, noise pollution, vibration, and emission release from construction in Malaysia have been reviewed and stated in this report. Lastly, a recommendation for strengthening the enforcement of law and regulation for environmental management practice to comply has been included in the conclusion of this report to overcome the challenges faced for sustainable construction development in Malaysia.

“…According to a study, if kitchen garbage is mixed with other debris in significant amounts, such as plastic bags, the environment will be severely polluted. Surface water pollution, groundwater contamination, soil pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced crop yields are all risks connected with the dumping of unsegregated waste [5].…”

One of the cornerstones to efficient waste management is proper and accurate waste classification. However, people find it challenging to categorize such a big and diverse amount of waste. As a result, we employ deep learning to classify waste efficiently. This paper uses the CNN algorithm to provide a problem-solving strategy to waste classification. The model achieves an accuracy of 0.9969 and a loss of 0.0205. As a result, we argue that employing CNN algorithms to categorize waste yields better results and reduces losses efficiently.
