Microplastics in Landfill Bodies: Abundance, Spatial Distribution and Effect of Landfill Age
نویسندگان
چکیده
Almost a quarter of the plastic produced in Europe still ends up landfills. In addition to loss valuable resources, this leads generation and accumulation microplastics The abundance refuse their spatial distribution landfill body have not been practically studied. current work, changes characteristics from 3 age sections Lap?s regional landfill, Lithuania, depth 10–20 m were A 55 particles/g or 52.8 g/kg was found. lowest found old section, while highest young (numerical) middle-aged (mass) sections. Moreover, increased with landfilled waste depth, which may reflect fragmentation transport. Polyethylene polypropylene dominant polymer types all sections, films shape. carbonyl index PE calculated monitor oxidation. analysis showed an increase age, proving intensive degradation microplastics. Thus, landfills are large reservoirs potential sources.

Estimation and modeling of gas emissions in municipal landfill (Case study: Landfill of Jiroft City)
One of the major factors, contributing to the emission of greenhouse gases in the environment is generation of pollutant gases in municipal landfills. As for the design and building of a gas collecting system, it is necessary to properly estimate the amount and type of the landfill emissions. By means of LandGEM model, this study predicts the amount and type of the landfill gases, produced for ...

متن کاملInfluence of a Municipal Waste Landfill on the Spatial Distribution of Mercury in the Environment
The study investigations were focused on assessing the influence of a 35-year-old municipal waste landfill on environmental mercury pollution. The total Hg content was determined in the soil profile, groundwater, and the plants (Solidago virgaurea and Poaceae sp.) in the landfill area. Environmental pollution near the landfill was relatively low. The topsoil layer, groundwater and the leaves of...
متن کاملMicrobiology 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...
