International Conference on
Societal harm arising from environmental toxicity

Makerere University, Uganda
M
any societies in Uganda are increasingly suffering the
repercussions that have been arising from rampant air
pollution, increase in contamination of water and the land
for tilling with many refuses full of toxins frommanufacturing
plants..
In the rural set up of the countryside, many of the natives
have quite often blamed it on government for lack of strict
laws and penalties on the perpetuators of environmental
laws which has consequently led to high health problems like
the airborne diseases because of polluted air, low fertility
rate of the soils which has adverse impacts on production
levels yet Agriculture is the biggest income earner for many
homesteads in Uganda.
Generally, this paper exudes the environmental toxicity
and the harm it has caused to the society. This is through
getting to the directly implicated societies like those in Hima
kasese where there have been clear indicators of what this
paper seeks to bring to light and what other civil society
organizations have been able to assess with help of the
community members.
The unbelievable challenges faced during the execution of
the sustainable programmes and public sensitization are to
be put to light in this paper with the collection of evidence
and the law enforcement procedures.
