<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>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>Amongst all hydrological and environmental problems the most typical one is ground water contamination. Waste material is to be placed in engineered landfill as ground water contamination can take place due to landfill leachate. In order to design engineered ...

<p>Results from two sets of laboratory test programmes on sand-salt mixtures in which the salt fractions, of different amounts and size, are dissolved are brought together to gather insight into the mechanics of mass loss and its controlling factors. The test ...

<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 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 ...

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.

Performance of four different municipal solid waste landfill liner systems, i.e., Subtitle D composite liner system, composite liner system with a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) instead of low permeability compacted soil, Wisconsin NR500 liner system, and proposed ...

This paper is about physical, chemical and bacteriological analyses of water samples from three boreholes located near a landfill at Akure, Nigeria was carried out to ascertain the magnitude of dumpsite pollution on groundwater quality.
