GARCIA PEREZ, Jack Fran Armengot. CHARACTERIZATION OF ORDINARY SOLID WASTE IN THE ALONSO VERA LANDSCAPE ZONE (Girardot, Cundinamarca) AND THEIR POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS. Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.40, pp.213-223. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.40.14.

Currently, the comprehensive management of ordinary solid waste becomes a challenge for all nations in the world, with environmental implications in soil, water and atmosphere. Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform a first analysis of solid waste (plastic, glass, paper, and WEEE) registered in a small relict forest of the Alonso Vera landscape zone, located in the municipality of Girardot (Cundinamarca). The collection and classification of waste was carried out on March 14, 2013 from 8:00 am until 11:00 am, with a capture effort of 10 people / forest trails, using protective gear such as gloves and masks for weighing the residue..In the forest relict a total of 94 kg of solid waste was collected in one day, being WEEE and plastic the most abundant with 24.5 kg and 17 kg respectively. This way, it is preliminarily concluded that the forest relict is being influenced mainly by the disposal of plastics and WEEE, matter of concern since the decomposition of this waste represents a risk to human health and the ecosystem integrity.
