It would become uninhabitable. There would be a tremendous amount of hazardous biological and pathogenic material. All of the grass, trees, flowers ect.. would be killed, the air would be noxious, and people would become very sick

Answer:

The environment will be contaminated with pathogens and harmful toxins. The people will become affected with infectious diseases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the absence of disposing of the solid waste from a community, the build-up of waste would pollute its environment. The people living in the region would become infected with diseases caused by polluted air, water, and food. Polluted environment and outbreak of the infectious disease would make the community inhabitable.
