This article is specifically focusing on the variety of environmental issues that has arisen from the 2010 Haiti earthquake. There were field based assessments done since January 13, 2010, that identified many of these environmental issues. One environmental issue would be medical waste. All emergency response and medical response operations had an over capacity of medical waste, piling up at hospitals and medical treatment centres, which they had no systems or equipment to dispose of these potentially hazardous materials. Which the UNEP (United Nations Environmental Programme), is working alongside the Haitian Government to establish proper containment space and procedures for handling the waste. The second environmental issue is the amount of rubble and demolition material. In the majorly affected areas, the percentage of destruction done was 60% to 80%. The volume of demolition waste, has been estimated to be in the tens of thousands of millions of tons. For the time being, debris was being dumped onto the roadsides, which if that wasn't managed properly that additional environmental impacts would arise. Another environmental landslides, there were multiple small landslides visible on all hillsides in the impacted areas. As well, there are flood risks for rebuilt camps which can become dangerous due to destabilized slopes and blocked drainage lines from debris due to the earthquake. This also creates an environmental impact due to massive population displacements. This large displacement creates the issue of the immediate pressure on Haiti's already exhausted local/natural resources. Concerted action is being planned and will be required over the next 20 years or more, in order to slow down or halt the degradation and to restore the Haitian environment and related livelihoods.
