Description:
This two-volume report provides long-term information on the release of gaseous and liquid contaminants to the biosphere from decomposing, landfilled, municipal solid waste. Volume I, the comprehensive final report, presents results from a 6-year study. The investigation included studies of leachate migration, the relationship between contaminant concentration and leachate volume, field capacities for various sizes of milled refuse, influence of density and depth on leachate pollutant concentrations, and the relationship of leachate chemical components to each other and to leachate volume.
