In Bali, an estimated 5,000 tons of waste is illegally dumped each day. Most of the waste is burned or dumped illegally into the drains, gullies, rivers, and oceans. Health risks associated with these methods of disposal include the spread of disease through non-managed solid and liquid waste (including feces), bacterial illness (diarrhea, skill infections), parasites, and respiratory illnesses, particularly for children, who are especially vulnerable to the toxicity of burning plastics.
