Thus, groundwater can be easily susceptible to infiltration from dumpsites, septic tanks and other anthropogenic activities. Approximately, one fifth of the world total freshw...

This study conducts a comparative assessment of two dumpsites (abandoned and active dumpsite) around Osogbo metropolis Osun State Nigeria. Ten selected heavy metals (HMs) such as arsenic, copper, cobalt, cadmium, chromium, iron, nickel, manganese, lead zinc were determined. The soil samples collected, at strategic points to revealed variation in samples. concentrations HMs quantitatively determ...

During the last few years, the concern about the protection of the environment has largely increased due to the contaminants mainly with anthropogenic origin and have affected and continue to threaten human resources especially air quality, surface soil and groundwater. Solid wastes are produced every day in urban societies as a result of human activities and in an attempt to dispose of these m...

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...

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 ...

Heavy metal is one of the major problems due to its accumulation from soil food chain, wherein dumpsites are primary sources heavy pollution. This study aimed determine presence metals in Santa Rita, Western Samar dumpsite and quantify them obtain knowledge on possible high contamination that may affect surrounding areas. focused concentrations Cd, Ni, Pb. Eighteen (18) samples were acquired wi...

Abstract Borehole water has been the main source of drinking for communities living within Nnewi metropolis. The quality this borehole significantly affected by presence unlined waste dumpsites which release leachates. present study investigated physicochemical characteristics and located around environment dumpsite in Nnewi. In study, thirty-two (32) samples were collected from (16) control ar...

Trace metal concentration in soils of Iyara area Warri, Delta State was studied using geophysical and geochemical techniques. Eight vertical electrical sounding (VES) SAS 1000 Terrameter with maximum current electrode spread 150 m the Schlumberger configuration carried out. The geoelectric layers obtained are topsoil, clay, sand fine-medium grained sand. fine to medium third fourth mainly const...

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...

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.
