Where may untreated human waste be dumped?

Untreated human waste may be dumped in various locations, including open fields, rivers, or oceans, particularly in areas lacking proper sanitation infrastructure. Some individuals may resort to these methods due to inadequate waste management systems or in emergencies. However, such practices pose serious public health risks and environmental hazards, leading to pollution and the spread of diseases. Many countries have regulations prohibiting the dumping of untreated waste to protect human health and the environment.
