Abstract |
The report reviews literature and 1974 research dealing with the degradation of municipal solid waste in sanitary landfills, production of leachate and gas, the modes of migration of these products, their environmental effects, and methods of control. Leachate production can be significantly affected by selection and design of landfill cover material. When leachate is formed the per capita discharge of waterborne contaminants over a long period will be of the same order of magnitude as per capita discharges into a sanitary sewerage system. Soils, especially those that are fine-grained and of low permeability, are very effective in controlling the migration of leachate. Biological, physical-chemical, and land-based wastewater treatment methods are effective when leachate must be treated. |
