Open dumping sites which generates serious health risks. The main aim of this paper is to shoe the effects of that open dumping on ground water resource, soil quality. It was observed that the people living in this area have poor health like allergy, asthma, skin irritation and other gastro intestinal diseases. The focus of this study is to assess the contribution of open dumping in soil contamination, water contamination and its effects on human. Surface soil sample were collected from open dumping site Naregaon and nearby area. Significant modifications were observed in the soil properties of dumping sites. Soil at the disposal site shows high pH Electrical conductivity. Various heavy metal concentration i.e. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), manganese (mg).

Open Dumping

The air pollution in the garbage dump gave the bad effect for the environmental health , NH3, H2S and the other polluted gases were the causes of air pollution that could give the bad effect for health, especially respiratory disorders. The garbage dump of bukit pinang was located in samarinda and still used open dumping method that could cause environmental pollution. Research design used cross sectional approach. The sample of NH3 and H2S was taken at 3 points and there were 34 respondents that were chosen using purposive sampling. Data collection included in the measurement of NH3 and H2S, interview, and observation of respiratory disorders. Data analysis used t-independent test with 95% of confidence level.Result of the study showed that the concentration of NH3 and H2S at garbage dump of Bukit Pinang at sample points I, II, and III was still under quality standard. Result of T - Independent showed that there was relationship among concentration of NH3 (ρ-value= 0,005), concentration H2S (ρ-value=0,042), exposure period of NH3 and H2S (ρ-value=0,000), and Risk Quotient NH3 (ρ-value=0,000), H2S (ρ-value=0,000) with the respiratory disorders of the people around the garbage dump of  bukit pinang. Result of Mann-Whitney test showed that there was no relationship between exposure frequency of NH3 and H2S (ρ-value=0,284) with the respiratory disorders of the people around the garbage dump of bukit pinang
