This study tries to establish, purify and emphasize the use of freely available satellite data as an easy and cost-effective substitute of expensive and time taking ground measurements for assessment of environmental hazards of openly dumped Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The study has made use of 55 satellite observations to investigate severity and range of the hazardous influence zone. The average radius for thermal and bio influence zones measured over a span of four years (2016-2019) is 694 m and 760 m respectively, with maximum lies in spring and winter-II (790 m) and minimum in wet summer and dry summer (625 m). Whereas annual clamping in the temperature is as 39-21 degrees C (2016), 35-16 degrees C (2017), 34-19 degrees C (2018) and 36-16 degrees C (2019). This study concludes that remotely sensed data with the combination of proper spatial analysis is an optimal mechanism for investigating environmental hazards of a pollution source.
