متن کاملPhysico-Chemical Characterization and Pollution Index Determination of Leachates from Warri Waste Dumpsite, Southern Nigeria
This study characterizes the leachates quality of an active dumpsite in Warri, Delta State and also analyses its contamination or pollution potential. Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) a tool for quantifying pollution potential of leachates generated from dumpsites has been used to quantify the leachates contamination potential of the dumpsite. The LPI values for the different sample locations L1,...
