Sources of land pollution in Sinagpore:
1. Littering
2.Illegal dumping of domestic waste
3.Poor waste management from construction sites and industrial estates
Littering
"No Littering" signs can be found all over Singapore, however there are still a minority of Singaporeans who do not follow the law and remain indifferent to the warnings being issued to them.
Hence, there is a need to promote Singaporeans to be responsible for their actions and help to maintain Singapore's reputation of being clean and green.
Illegal dumping of domestic waste
Homes and offices also have a big impact on the amount of rubbish as people leave behind and throw away packaging materials, plastic bottles, unfinished food. Piles of dirty and rotting materials may attract rodents and insects that may carry organisms dangerous to our health.
Therefore other physical solutions have to be employed in Singapore to alleviate the problem of illegal dumping.
Poor waste management from construction sites and industrial estates.
This factor also causes major pollution. Construction firms burn their waste on-site instead of bringing the rubbish to the proper grounds for disposal.
In doing so, the building contractors hope to save money and time. These errant contractors run the risk of losing their license if they are caught.
