Metal Concentrations in the Soil Surrounding MSW Landfill Sites

Concentrations of fecal bacteria and nutrients in soil surrounding round-bale feeding sites.

An experiment was conducted over 7 mo (January to July 2003) to evaluate fecal bacteria and nutrient concentrations in soil surrounding round-bale feeders at 10 winter feeding sites. Soil samples 15 cm in depth were taken monthly from each site at distances of 3, 12, 21, and 30 m from the feeder. Soil samples were taken before livestock access to the sites (January), during the feeding period (...

The Use of Selected Waste Products for the Reclamation of Existing Msw Landfill Sites

WARREN H. CHESNER Chesner Engineering, P.C. This paper presents an overview of a recently pat­ ented technology which defines the process of using selected waste products to assist in reclaiming existing municipal solid waste landfill sites [1]. The process in­ volves the pressurized injection of these materials into the void spaces of existing landfill sites to both manage the waste product an...

investigation of contamination of groundwater sources surrounding landfill sites; case study: takestan city landfill site

nonstop growth of urban population and concentration of industrial and agricultural activities in many parts of the world and iran have given rise to increased demand for water for different uses .furthermore, as one important factor of lack of exchange between human and environment resulting in wide exploitation from agricultural lands, mine extraction, and application of various industrial to...

Microbiology of Landfill Sites

The deposition of untreated municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills exhibits a strong impact on our environment. The main effects are methane release, which is contributing to the greenhouse effect, and contamination of groundwater through leachate. The decomposition of MSW is mediated by the cooperation of several microorganisms and is heavily influenced by substrate composition as well as ph...
