IMPROPER THROWING OF GARBAGES
IN BARANGAY SAWANG CALERO
CAUSES HEALTH DEFICIENCY
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 Sawang Calero in the City of Cebu 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 Sawang Calero 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 former Cebu City Mayor, Tomas Osmeña. 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 Sawang Calero is on the process of debasing the case of improper throwing of wastes and the case of health problems. Eventhough 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 inorder 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 orgutters 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.
