Management of Waste liquids and Vulnerability of the Population to Diseases: Case of Songon-Agban District of Abidjan. In Songo-Agban, district of Abidjan, the spatial and demographic dynamic goes together with a lack of urban waste management services. This phenomenon causes the proliferation of waste liquids and exposes resident populations to environmental diseases. Faced with an uncontrolled population growth and the urgent lack of sanitation infrastructures, sewage management and its impact on the population is becoming worrying. The objective of this study is to analyze the practices of the population concerning the management of waste liquids , their impact on the environment and the vulnerability of the populations to environmental diseases. Analysis of primary and secondary data collected reveals an individual and inefficient management of waste liquids in Songon-Agban. The households drain sewage in septic tanks, cesspools and even in the street. These different practices damage the living environment and expose the population to environmental diseases, in particular malaria, typhoid fever, diarrheal diseases and acute respiratory infections.
