Abstract :

The increase in population due to migration and employment has caused a change in the way of life and consumption pattern, which is one of the most obvious environmental problems in the area of production and accumulation of all kinds of waste left in the environment and the destruction of ecological capital in Ardakan city. Abandoned waste is one of the most important types of urban waste whose management faces serious challenges. Releasing these wastes in the environment will cause irreparable consequences and damage to the environment, human life, plants and animals. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the quantity and distribution of abandoned waste in Ardakan city during the hot seasons of the year. This research is an attempt to investigate the current city through the study of urban environment pollution with abandoned waste
