INTRODUCTION

When you care for yourself, your home, your yard and your garden you use a variety of
chemical products. Many of these common household products contain hazardous
chemicals. When we no longer want these products they become hazardous waste.
Most household products are not harmful if used according to label directions. However,
they can become harmful if you use them improperly, store them improperly, or dispose
of them improperly.
Most people dispose of hazardous products by throwing them in the trash, pouring them
down the drain, burning them, pouring them in a ditch, dumping them on a vacant lot or
burying them in a field. These practices are dangerous. Waste from hazardous household
products can contaminate lakes, rivers, streams and the groundwater (the places below
the ground where water accumulates before it goes to a river, stream or well).
Just like in the Barangay San Andres in the City of Catbalogan is undergoing a query
which is the improper throwing of garbage or wastes. This is a major problem in the
locality wherein the residents are affected by these wicked exemplification. One of the
uncertainties of the populace in the affected area is the health difficulties. Lots of people
have been encountering different problems in heath.
The inevitable rationale of this circumstance is the production of the consumption
proceeding. On the other hand, the place is known as the fish public market and this
makes the garbage abundant.
The garbage in the barangay are rampant that manufacture different ailments of an
individual. From one side to another side, garbage or wastes are always present.
Such constant illnesses that brought by this are cough, colds, fever and dengue.

CASE STUDIES AND FIELD STUDIES

Many health problems have been associated with improper waste disposal on behalf of
companies and individuals alike. Many people who present health conditions have been
exposed to high levels of toxic waste over an extended period of time through the pollution
of groundwater, air and soil.
The researcher conducted a depth data and enters the land of the barangay. Individuals
contributed their own simple ways on how to evade or debase the case like to dispose it
properly. They were also voicing their problems with regard to the effects of improper
disposal of garbage. As the study’s getting different information, the Barangay San
Andres is amending the everyday collection of garbage, house by house knowing that
this is the simple method of diminishing the cases of the health problems.
The place is quite big and in every different area, still the garbage can be found. This
makes the air smells bad and this is very much hazardous to one’s health.
With regard to the people who have different ailments, the barangay has a medical clinic
for free consultation and free assistance of medicine to them.
The clinic was raised with the aid of the City Mayor, Stephanie Uy Tan. Everyday,
everybody can visit the clinic from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm and few doctors will be present
during Monday and Friday only.

OBSERVATIONS

The researcher observed the den of the barangay. Usually, the residents are still speaking
out their predicament about this negative occurrence. They are aiming for an instant
solution to this major case. On the other side, upon observing, there are some folks who
are still throwing garbage anywhere despite the huge problem. These are the people who
are probably not concerned of what’s happening. The people also can do it freely because
no one will warn them and there is nothing signboards in the place even.
But some of the concern citizens in the barangay are working hard for their betterment.
They are practicing themselves to segregate their wastes properly. Notwithstanding they
are doing their best, still they want everything to be fixed so that anyone can breathe into
the purified air rather than keep smelling to dirty air and of course to be protected from
different illnesses or even just to lessen the cases of these.
CONCLUSION

The Barangay San Andres is on the process of debasing the case of improper throwing
of wastes and the case of health problems. Even though there is now an action done but
the barangay is looking forward to another step to directly lessen and cease these. The
authorities of the barangay continue to advice and get the attention of everyone to go with
their mission. The barangay is having a monthly cleaning of drainages and having the
day by day, house to house collection of garbage that are to be collected by the use of a
truck in order to dispose it properly.
These are some of helpful solutions to these:
Don't throw it in anywhere because improper use may cause toxic health effects such as
headache, injury or death. Improper storage may allow chemicals to leak into the
environment, causing dangerous chemical reactions, poisoning or pollution. Improper
disposal may allow these chemicals to contaminate soil and/or water.
Don't pour it down the drain because when you pour hazardous household products down
the sink or flush them down the toilet the hazardous materials enter either a septic system
or a municipal sewer system.
Don't pour it in ditches, storm drains or gutters because if you pour hazardous household
waste in ditches, storm drains or gutters, it can poison plants and wildlife, contaminate
the soil, and be harmful to children and adults who come in contact with it When it rains,
the hazardous household waste travels directly to nearby streams, rivers and lakes.
Don't burn it. If you burn hazardous waste, you risk producing poisonous fumes,
contributing to air pollution or causing an explosion.
Don't dump it or bury it. If you dump or bury some types of hazardous household wastes,
they may leach through the soil and contaminate the soil or water, especially if the waste
is persistent or non-biodegradable. Children or pets and wildlife may be hurt. Dogs
frequently are poisoned by drinking antifreeze left on roads or driveways.
