<p>The study investigated the effects of open landfill sites on the underground water quality by examining the physical and chemical properties of underground water in hand-dug wells around the Solous landfill sites in Igando, ...
<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 style="text-align: justify;">Groundwater contamination due to Municipal Landfill Site (MLS) is a serious threat to groundwater integrity.This current research characterized leachate from Solous <br />Landfill Site and assessed the groundwater quality at ...
Reference: International Journal of Chemical Engineering and Applications, Vol. 3, No. 6, December 2012
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.
