7 ABSTRACT

8 Poor environmental sanitation poses significant threats to public health, environmental quality,

9 and sustainable development. This study review the major causes and consequences of

10 unsanitary conditions in communities, highlighting factors such as inadequate infrastructure,

11 weak governance, socio-cultural practices, rapid urbanization, and climate-related stressors.

12 Findings show that poor sanitation contributes to widespread waterborne and vector-borne

13 diseases, environmental degradation, blocked drainages, pollution, and reduced socio-economic

14 productivity. The study further reveals that lack of awareness, poor waste management, and

15 insufficient enforcement of sanitation laws worsen the situation. It concludes that improving

16 environmental sanitation requires strong government policies, community participation, public

17 health education, sustainable urban planning, and modern waste management technologies to

18 ensure healthier and cleaner surroundings.

Keywords: Environmental sanitation, Public health, Waste management, Urbanization,
