Analyst 1: What did the research reveal for the area?

Analyst 2: Typical practices in developing countries: landfill coverage, old transport services and unsuitable disposal facilities.

Analyst 1: What exactly disposal facilities are unsuitable?

Analyst 2: Waste is burnt in an old incinerator, which adds to the already serious problem of air pollution.

Analyst 1: I see. If we don’t act soon, people will be exposed to toxic pollution;

Analyst 2: And the local ecosystem will be at risk.

Analyst 1: Hopefully, at this afternoon’s meeting, we will come up with the solution for the appropriate disposal in landfills.
