Analysis of the Household Waste Management System and the Health and Environmental Impact in the Municipality of Kasa Vubu, City of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo By Holenu Mangenda Holy, Vuni Simbu Alexis, Ngoma Nsungu Dervie, Masamuna Parfait, Mola Jean Paul, Muyulu Rosy, Ebubu Adogo Jefferson, Ndoy Pukuta Reagan & Narcis Barsan Université de Kinshasa Abstract- One of the important areas in the interaction between human and environmental activities is waste management. In low-income countries, in this case the Democratic Republic of Congo in general and the city of Kinshasa in particular, the most common method used is uncontrolled dumping. However, if this solution is the easiest to implement and the least expensive, it is nonetheless necessary to respect certain rules in order to achieve its goal, which is very rarely the case. Throwing away garbage in inappropriate places can be extremely damaging to the environment and to human health. Within the framework of this study, observations, interviews and surveys conducted in the field with local populations as well as the sampling of physico-chemical parameters with the help of the EXTECH portable Multianalyzer, model 433201, have determined several obvious nuisances such as odors, fumes, proliferation of insects, attraction of mice and dogs. Keywords: management system, household waste, health, environmental, impact.
