Environmental Health Problem

This paper is expected to encourage the professional sanitarian to seriously consider problems related to solid waste disposal. It is divided into four specific parts: (a) solid waste disposal, a universal environmental health problem; (b) public awareness;(c) the Solid Waste Disposal Act; and (d) solid waste disposal–a challenge. The term “solid waste disposal” includes storage at the point of production, collection, and transportation to the point of ultimate disposal. Solid waste disposal is an important facet of most all environmental sanitation programs. Today the professional sanitarian knows that many diseases are spread by improper solid waste disposal. In addition, improper solid waste disposal adversely affects many aspects of the environment. Until quite recently, public interest in solid waste disposal was minimal. This interest currently is high and the public expects appropriate action on the part of someone. The Solid Waste Disposal Act is indicative of public interest and provides several areas for improving solid waste disposal practices of the nation. Solid waste disposal presents a challenge to the professional sanitarian, and provides him with a real opportunity to fill the void in today's solid waste disposal management.

Waste Management Practice

Islam is a religion that prescribes a way of life that goes beyond the rituals. It provides a holistic guide to human beings in almost every aspect of life in this world. However, the modernization and economic growth have taken the leads in the society governance and therefore tarnished some of the Muslim society’s perceptions on the holistic guidance of Islamic teachings. One of the consequences was readily displayed through attitudes and inefficient waste management practice of the majority of the Islamic country that lead to the environmental health problem. The paper discusses the existing waste management practice and positive roles of true Islamic understanding through the Qur’an and the Sunnah in terms of avoiding wasteful consumption and manners of cleanliness to resolve global environmental health problem caused by poor waste management.
