The landfill garbage includes organic and inorganic matter. The organic matter covers more than 50% of the total waste material. Due to improper management of landfill garbage, it causes serious risks to human health directly by the emission of toxic gasses. On the other hand, landfill sites are the natural habitat of several microbes and arthropods. The present discussion illustrates the impact of landfill garbage on insect ecology and human health. Here, we highlighted the arthropod density as well as diversity. Moreover, the population of insect vectors of various diseases, insect scavengers as well as pollinators has been pinpointed. It shows that landfill sites and adjacent areas are hotspots for a wide variety of arthropods. The proper management of landfill sites could reduce the population dynamics of various insect pests, and health risks could be decreased in low-and middle-income countries.
垃圾填埋场中的垃圾包括有机和无机物质。有机物质占总废物的 50%以上。由于垃圾填埋场管理不当,有毒气体的排放直接对人类健康造成严重风险。另一方面,垃圾填埋场是许多微生物和节肢动物的自然栖息地。本讨论说明了垃圾填埋对昆虫生态学和人类健康的影响。在这里,我们强调了节肢动物的密度和多样性。此外,还确定了各种疾病的昆虫媒介、昆虫清道夫和传粉媒介的种群。研究表明,垃圾填埋场及其相邻地区是各种节肢动物的热点地区。通过适当管理垃圾填埋场,可以减少各种害虫的种群动态,从而降低中低收入国家的健康风险。
