Abstract:

Rapid urbanization leads to the generation of municipal solid waste, which creates problems for humans and the environment in the long run. Risks for a human being is one of the common deterioration of the environment, the assessment of environmental risk is very important at present. This paper presents the new concept of identifying risk assessment areas in municipal boundaries & health risk index developed from municipal solid waste. This study has been designed to evaluate the health risk index and determine the risk assessment areas from municipal solid waste in four municipal wards of the Allahabad city, India, using the Aggregation model and Multi-dimensional Comparative Analysis (MCA) Model.
The effects assessed were the possible impacts of solid waste on health and the environment. The resident's view regarding the location of the primary transfer of municipal solid waste was also taken. The data collection route was descriptive, analytical, and survey-based (questionnaires and field observations). The result shows that both residents & sweepers living near the primary transfer stations of municipal solid waste in the city were affected by skin diseases, eye irritation, Nausea & vomiting, malaria, chest pains, cholera, and diarrhea, etc. The final obtained ranking of sustainable development health risk indexes of solid waste of each municipal ward indicates that the 1^st rank in high health risk area to the last rank in the lowest health-risk area.
