Abstract

Today waste disposal presents a significant problem and an environmental challenge to communities and governments. Consequently there is a growing environmental awareness among governments and consumers of the consequences of unfriendly environments on future generations. As a result there is a huge investment of human intelligence and capital resources in the management and control of waste problems. In recent times researchers have called for papers outlining both the physiological and psychological effects of waste disposal. This work attempts to address this problem by considering the sensitivity analysis of the physiological effects of inappropriately disposed wastes. Improperly disposed wastes have strong influences on human beings. It reveals itself in the form of physical reactions of the human beings to his environment. This research hopefully stimulates further studies in an area that is attracting empirical investigations.
