Biodegradable wastes are decomposed by the microorganisms into simpler substances which can be used by the producers as a raw material. But following are the effects of too many biodegradable wastes:
- As the decomposition of the biodegradable wastes is slow, they produce awful smell and when inhaled by humans it can be harmful.
- The dumping areas can be a place where harmful organisms may start to breed which can be harmful to humans as well as plants and animals.
- Increase in the number of aquatic organisms may result in depletion of oxygen.
