Solid Waste Management & Health in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling solid waste disposal practices, environmental contamination, and health outcomes across three settings in SSA. Open dumping, burning, and roadside disposal contaminate water, soil, and air while creating vector breeding sites. Waste pickers face needlestick injuries, lacerations, and infections.

Parameterization Evidence

Parameter	Value	Source	Year
22 diseases linked to improper solid waste management	Disease burden	PMC8843296	2022
Open dumps cause cholera, malaria, typhoid	Health effects	MDPI Sustainability	2024
Waste pickers unprotected in LMICs	Occupational risk	PMC8843296	2022
SA low-income settlements: burning, burying, dumping	SSA data	PMC8346154	2021

Validation
