Pollution Issues on Mount Everest

Over 12 tons of garbage and biological waste left by tourists and climbers have been recorded on Mount Everest. The extent of the pollution is causing concern among environmentalists. The removal of waste is complicated by the extreme conditions and the inaccessibility of the area. Despite periodic clean-up efforts, the pollution issue persists. Environmental organizations warn that without a long-term, systematic approach, the situation could worsen, damaging the region's ecosystem.
