One of the major reasons for the degradation of Earth’s setting is inappropriate disposal of solid waste. Mountains of solid waste are increasing in every country making solid waste management a challenge almost everywhere on Earth. It is vital to look for such municipal solid waste management solutions that are financially sustainable, technically possible, socially and legally acceptable and environmentally friendly. Currently vermicomposting is the only biological solid waste treatment process that uses multicellular organisms to biodegrade organic wastes. A few species of insects are capable of digesting lignin and cellulose. Of these, termites are the most numerous and play a decisive role as scavengers. Microflora which inhabit the termites’ gut contribute to their waste degrading potential. Termites act as major soil ecosystem managers and are able to breakdown and recycle organic matter and composite. Although studies in the potential of termites to increase soil fertility are well-accounted for in the literature, the potential of termites for solid waste management still needs to be explored. This mini review presents the state of information on the use of termite species in solid waste degradation focused on the potential application in the Himachal Pradesh region, India. This review highlights different termite species found in Himachal Pradesh and the challenges that are needed to be conquered. The study also aims at encouraging competent authorities/researchers to work towards the improvement of the present system by further exploring the use of termites in solid waste management through suggestions and recommendations.

白蚁在喜马al尔邦固体废物管理中的潜力:小型回顾。

地球环境恶化的主要原因之一是对固体废物的不当处置。每个国家的固体废物山脉都在增加,这使得地球上几乎所有地方的固体废物管理都面临挑战。寻找在财务上可持续,技术上可行,社会和法律上可接受且对环境友好的市政固体废物管理解决方案至关重要。目前,ver堆肥是唯一使用多细胞生物对有机废物进行生物降解的生物固体废物处理工艺。少数昆虫能够消化木质素和纤维素。其中,白蚁数量最多,起着清除剂的决定性作用。栖息在白蚁肠道中的微生物群有助于其降解垃圾的潜力。白蚁是土壤生态系统的主要管理者,能够分解和回收有机物和复合物。尽管在文献中对白蚁增加土壤肥力的潜力进行了充分的研究,但仍需要探索白蚁在固体废物管理方面的潜力。这份小型回顾介绍了有关白蚁物种在固体废物降解中的使用的信息状态,重点是在印度喜马al尔邦地区的潜在应用。这篇综述重点介绍了在喜马al尔邦发现的不同白蚁种类以及需要克服的挑战。该研究的目的还在于鼓励主管当局/研究人员通过提出建议来进一步探索在固体废物管理中使用白蚁的方法,以努力改善现有系统。
