Sustainable development goals and the impact of waste disposal on public health

Katy Harmonosky

Katy Harmonosky is a first-year student at Millersville University majoring in Biology with a Pre-Med concentration. Since she comes from an area that can be heavily littered at times, she wanted to know about other garbage disposal methods. She also lives near a superfund site, so she was curious about the environmental and health effects on the land and living organisms nearby. Katy wanted to help spread awareness about the effects of pollution on land, in water, on people, and on other wildlife while incorporating the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After she graduates, she plans to apply to dental school to be a dentist. Katy would like to thank Dr. Margaret Mbindyo for her mentorship, support, and guidance.
