Waste pollution, with its harmful health risks, is one of the critical issues
present in each country. Waste generation rates are growing around the world every
year, creating a need for more sustainable waste management strategies. Random
disposal of wastes is creating a very complicated situation that involves all world
populations. Although several studies have been conducted to investigate links between
waste pollution and cancer; such evidence about this correlation becomes very difficult
to demonstrate. The information about the effects of environmental exposure in the
population is insufficient, and it is very challenging to establish the impact of human
health. In this scenario, interdisciplinary research can play an important role to better
understand the relationship between the risks of human health and waste pollution.
