Good my follow steemians today i will love to write on the topic environmental quality,but first of all what is environmental quality.
Environmental quality is the state or condition of our surroundings that is, how clean or dirty, beautiful or ugly, healthy or unhealthy and peaceful or noisy the environment is.
An environment that is free from litter of refuse, pollutants and noise can be reffered to as a healthy environment. While an environment with litter of refuse, pollutants and noise is called an unhealthy environment.

DISADVANTAGES OF DEGRADING THE ENVIRONMENT
- Improper disposal of waste can cause air and water pollution and this is dangerous to our health.
- Refuse dumps can also serve as abodes for rodents and breeding place for housefiles, mosquitoes, cockroaches and other vectors which will eventually get to our home and can cause malaria, cholera, typhoid etc.
- Dumping of refuse into open drains or along waterways can lead to flood.
- One can easily get physical injury in an unhealthy surrounding because the refuse dumps can contain sharp and dangerous objects like broken bottles,can and nails.
