<p>The presence of dumping grounds in highly urbanized environment directly results into health hazards for the people residing in the surrounding areas. In the past years, these open dumps have become a threat to the local hydrogeology. Groundwater contamination ...

<p>Leachate pollution index (LPI) value can be used as a tool to assess the leachate pollution potential of landfill sites particularly at places where there is a high risk of leachate migration and pollution of groundwater and thus can help to take necessary ...

<p>Leachate pollution index (LPI) provides an overall pollution potential of a landfill site. In this paper, the concept of LPI is described in brief and stepwise procedure to calculate the LPI of a landfill is explained using data from municipal landfill ...

<p>A technique to quantify the leachate pollution potential of solid waste landfills on a comparative scale using an index known as the leachate pollution index (LPI) developed. The LPI is a quantitative tool by which the leachate pollution data of the landfill ...

<p>For the last three decades, high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (GMBs) have played a crucial rule as the primary barrier in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. In parallel, there have been extensive investigations into the service life of HDPE ...

<p>Waste is discarded materials of no further use to the owners and the pattern of its generation is a function of the level of urbanization, industrialization and economic status of society. The most convenient strategy of solid waste disposal is landfill ...

<p>The present paper focuses on iron metals adsorption in leachate. The results of this study indicated that the biomass generated from the laboratory experiments could be used, before discarding, to remove iron from leachate which is one of the main problems ...

Physico-chemical and microbiological parameters were analyzed in leachate and groundwater samples obtained at different locations adjacent to a municipal solid waste landfill in order to assess the impact of leachate percolation on groundwater quality.

The use of fabricated geomembranes can facilitate installation of a containment system, closure cell, final cover system, sports turf barrier, floating cover, e.g., over a leachate pond to reduce precipitation and leachate volume, pond liners, e.g., stormwater ...

The influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near Salhad stream (Abbottabad,Pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during August 2007 to April 2008.Samples were collected from five different sites located along the ...
