Answer:
Open waste burning is a widespread practice spurred, in part, by a lack of systematic waste collection. Its diffuse nature – occurring at major landfills, small or remote dumpsites, and individual households – makes it a complex problem to address.
Even those aware of the consequences may continue to burn waste out of habit or because other disposal options are not readily available. Still, raising awareness about the significant health impacts of waste burning is key to stopping it, as is capacity building for local waste managers to collect waste and prevent build-ups of landfill gas that ignite spontaneously.
