th

International Conference on

Societal harm arising from environmental toxicity

Aijuka Nicholas,

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.
