The uncontrolled burning of waste takes place worldwide, particularly in countries where there are often either limitations in the effectiveness of the existing waste management systems or there are no systems present.

The uncontrolled burning of waste takes place worldwide, particularly in countries where there are often either limitations in the effectiveness of the existing waste management systems or there are no systems present.
The recently completed Global Review on Safer End of Engineered Life identified open burning as a major issue that needs urgent attention globally.
The practice of waste burning can lead to a number of public and environmental health concerns. For example, there can often be direct health impacts for those undertaking burning in confined spaces (for example, in factories), and for waste workers who burn electronic waste to extract the metals.
