Answer 2

Answer:

All the problems stated here are associated with the disposal of solid waste.

Explanation:

• Solid waste, depending on the material, undergoes degrading actions like rusting and corrosion.

• These actions break down the material through electrolytic reactions to produce various chemicals that percolate in the ground and contaminate the groundwater.

• More the solid waste, more are the efforts required to recycle it. This discourages recycling efforts that need to be taken in regard to the solid waste.

• Solid waste is also problematic because finding locations for landfills is not an easy task.

• Solid waste contaminates the resources and reduces available renewable resources. Moreover, solid waste also pollutes the soil through various degenerative reactions.
