Abstract Population growth is a global issue that must be addressed with extreme caution in order to ensure long-term sustainability. India developing country experiencing tremendous population and urbanization. Small towns cities contribute less than half of Municipal Solid Waste Generation (MSW) whereas metropolitan 70 90%. The improper handling MSW dumping open land pollutes the ecosystem. I...

Leaching emanating from municipal solid waste dumpsite is one of the major causes soil and groundwater contamination. This study was conducted to determine extent which open in New Georgia, Liberia has impacted quality vicinity recommend strategy reduce those impacts where issues are critical.

Leachate pollution of Aneakie Obiakor illegal dumpsite, Awka was studied. Leachate and plant samples (cassava and pawpaw) were collected from the waste dumpsite and control site during wet season, and analysed for level of concentration of 10 heavy metals; Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, Fe using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric (AAS). The result was compared with the control and WHO/FAO st...

Solid waste management is challenging in Phnom Penh city, Capital of Cambodia. The only one formal treatment taken is the final disposal of mixed waste into an open dumpsite. The current study analyses the physical and chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste disposed of in the dumpsite to assess their suitable handling methods. The current study found that the major compositions of wa...

Leachate originating from open refuse dumpsite systems can be delineated through an integration of qualitative and quantitative methods. This study was designed to examine extent of leachate and pollution from one of the numerous open refuse dumpsites in Lagos metropolis. Qualitative assessment was determined using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), vertical electrical sounding (VES) and ...

Sphingobium sp. strain HDIPO4 was isolated from a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) dumpsite and degraded HCH isomers rapidly. The draft genome sequence of HDIPO4 (~4.7 Mbp) contains 143 contigs and 4,646 coding sequences with a G+C content of 65%.

Abstract Dumpsite is a widespread land meant or designed for deposition of waste and unwanted materials from household, institutions, industries the environment generally open covered with soil layer without liner at bottom. Dump/landfill major source contamination groundwater. This study therefore to review studies on impact groundwater due dumpsites using geophysical physiochemical methods. T...

Sphingobium lactosutens DS20(T) has been isolated from the hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) dumpsite in Lucknow, India, but does not degrade any of the HCH isomers. Here, we present the ~5.36-Mb draft genome sequence of strain DS20(T), which consists of 110 contigs and 5,288 coding sequences, with a G+C content of 63.1%.

This study aimed to evaluate concentrations of selected heavy metals in the soils of Ilokun dumpsite and adjourning farmlands, and to determine as well levels of heavy metals uptake in various parts of Carica papaya plant collected from the dumpsite. Twenty-two soil samples were collected within the dumpsites and farmlands at depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. Evaluations of heavy metals ...

This paper presents the results of an evaluation of Field Capacity of municipal solid waste at the University of Maiduguri dumpsite. The work describes the methodology and the devices designed for the determination of field capacity of municipal solid waste, in which a lysimeter was constructed to simulate the activities within the refuse dumpsite. The method consisted of applying dynamic compa...
