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 much of biodegradable wastes:
• As the decomposition of the biodegradable wastes are slow, they produce an 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.
