Car trash may return with floods
The article discusses the impact of waste discarded by drivers from their car windows during the rainy season. When it rains, this waste transforms into pollutants that are carried by surface runoff into drainage systems and the environment. The study explains that small debris such as plastics, dirt, and metals accumulate and cause soil and water pollution. Additionally, they obstruct drainage systems and increase the likelihood of floods, environmental contamination, and health issues. Research indicates that the "first flush" phenomenon can remove some pollutants, but as accumulation continues, the problem becomes more severe. The buildup of waste can lead to the transfer of more dangerous pollutants into rivers and groundwater, thereby amplifying environmental and health challenges associated with the rainy season.
