However, individuals may be exposed to higher levels of radium and its associated external gamma radiation if they live in an area where there is an elevated level of radium in soil. In addition, radium is particularly hazardous because it continuously produces radon, which can diffuse into nearby homes.

Municipal solid waste in Bangladesh contains as much as 65% of moisture, whereas it is only 23-32% in India, and 15-35% in Europe, making the waste here more suitable for composting.
