Effects of Environmental Pollution Generated by the Garbage Dump on the Population of Centro Pobladochilla, Juliaca - Peru

Abstract

The objective of the investigation was to determine the effect of environmental pollution generated by the garbage dump on the population in the Chilla Town Center. The research design is non-experimental, descriptive and correlational, the econometric model Logit Multinomial was applied. It was determined that the effect of the existing contamination in the Chilla Town Center due to the dump is high, because 55.77% of those surveyed consider the same, the level of existing contamination that directly affects the health of the population has a probability of 63.85% and this responds to a medium level of involvement. The most contaminating resource that has been identified is groundwater (69.71% of those surveyed affirm the case), this because of the existing dump, where there is no adequate treatment of solid waste, the same one that concentrates all types of waste, such as heavy metals, organic compounds, nitrogenous compounds, waste from health centers, etc., that these have been generating a decomposition of toxic substances that the soil absorbs, thus contaminating the groundwater that the population consumes, affecting their population health.
