Ahmedabad is a big city with a population of six millions of people and the rate of population is increasing day by day.
This phenomenon has led to the exponential growth in consumption. The population growth is largely responsible for the
growing solid waste at the Pirana dumping site, which is being managed by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). Various
type of waste from large- and small-scale industries are collected at the Pirana dumping site in Ahmedabad by AMC. The large
amount of waste at the Pirana site has increased the toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide,
methane and nitrogen dioxide due to the combustion. Although most of the waste is recycled in some ways, the rapid rise in
dumping site causing the spreading of pollution has led the increment in temperature. This has led to affect the health of the
people living around the dumping side.1
