Solid waste disposal processes involve complex interactions, leading to inevitable secondary pollution that can have significant environmental impacts. Understanding the characteristics, the formation and the potential risk of secondary pollution derived from solid waste disposal process is crucial for assessing its effects on ecosystems and human health. We are pleased to announce a topic of “Secondary pollution derived from solid waste disposal process.” It aims to explore the environmental challenges and mitigation strategies associated with the disposal of solid waste, a pressing issue that transcends national boundaries. With the increasing global solid waste footprint, the urgency to address secondary pollution has never been greater. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute original research articles, review papers, and case studies that address the international dimension of waste management issues. Your insights will contribute to the development of sustainable waste management practices and the protection of our global environment.

    The call for papers also emphasizes the importance of addressing the broader implications of solid waste disposal on public health. The release of hazardous substances into the air, soil, and water due to improper waste handling can lead to serious health problems such as respiratory diseases, cancers, and other chronic conditions. Children and vulnerable populations are particularly at risk. Therefore, it is imperative to develop comprehensive strategies that not only minimize environmental damage but also safeguard community well-being. By sharing innovative solutions and best practices in this field, we can work towards creating a safer and healthier planet for future generations.
