Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Diversity of Fungi in Landfill and their Potential to Degrade PlasticErman Munir, Yitro Pasaribu, Syahira Mubtasima, Ahmad Faisal NasutionPlastic has been known as a recalcitrant material and is very difficult to degrade in nature, resulting in its accumulation and threatening the environment if it is not managed properly. Studies on the degradation of plastics have been obtaining much attention recently. This study aimed to determine the diversity of fungi isolated from plastic wastes in landfills and to identify … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2024 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Heavy Metals Contamination in Controlled and Uncontrolled Landfill Soil, Ouagadougou, Burkina FasoBambara Telado Luc, Doumounia Ali, Kohio Nièssan et al.The study was conducted to evaluate the concentrations of heavy metals in landfill soils. The soils samples were collected in some selected landfill, at Ouagadougou. Determinations of heavy metal concentrations, calculation of contamination factor and pollution load index of heavy metal in landfill soil were undertaken. The atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to determine the concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2020 · 7,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Effects of Landfill in Azad-Shahr City on the Physicochemical Properties of GroundwaterSara Abdollahi, Safieh Javadinejad, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLocations near landfills have a lot of potential for contamination of groundwater, because there is a high potential for contamination with emulsion in these areas. In this study, the quality of physic chemical and carbon-organic materials (TOC) of water wells around landfill of Azad-Shahr city was investigated. To accomplish this purpose, sampling of water from seven deep wells around the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSolid Waste Disposal and its Impact on Surrounding Environment of Matuail landfill Site, Dhaka, BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, Esrat Jahan, Zakia Parveen et al.An investigation was conducted to assess the impact of solid waste disposal on surrounding environment of Matuail landfill site of Dhaka city. Three different locations such as current dumping, abandoned and its surrounded agricultural areas of Matuail landfill were selected for soil and plant samples, leachate from active dumping and fish samples from treated leachate pond. The Cu, Zn and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 16 Nov 2018 · 12,695 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessEvery word in the titleMapping of Mn and Pb as Effect of Landfill Pollutant based on Ordinary Kriging InterpolationRokhana Dwi Bekti, Kris Suryowati, Heruna TantySpatial interpolation is an important method, getting information about pollutan from landfill location in groundwater quality mapping. Ordinary kriging is used to predict the unknown values in some locations, based on the autocorrelations among the nearby locations. In this research, ordinary kriging interpolation was used to divine the chemical characteristic of Manganese (Mn) and Lead (Pb), then 22 samples, around … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 19 May 2017 · 7,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCOUPLED NITROGEN AND OXYGEN ISOTOPE STUDY OF NITRATE AT A RURAL UNLINED LANDFILL IN WESTERN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIAJohn W. Moreau, Andrew M. MinardUnderstanding of site-scale physical and chemical heterogeneities will inform remediation strategies for unlined rural landfills worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterize potential sources of nitrogen contamination to groundwater at an unlined landfill in rural western Victoria, Australia. Results revealed simultaneously high concentrations of both nitrate and ammonia within several wells, indicative of heterogeneous redox potentials within the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLANDFILLS MULTIPLE GOAL OPTIMIZATION USING EQUATIONLESS QUALITATIVE RELATIONSMirko DohnalLandfills are unique and difficult to measure. Their optimization must be solved with a severe lack of information. The privilege of not utilizing information items based on common sense cannot be afforded, as this represents an important part of the available ad hoc landfill knowledge related to e.g., economics, sociology. Therefore, a flexible, formal tool for dealing with the common … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTreatment of Organic Compounds of Landfill Leachate in Vietnam by Combining Coagulation and Ozonation ProcessVan Huu Tap, Trinh Van TuyenLandfill leachate is a problematic pollution that should be solved in Viet Nam. This study presents some experimental results of removals of COD and color from landfill leachate by using coagulation and ozonation processes to determine the optimal reaction conditions. In pre-treatment stage by coagulation, the results showed that the removals obtained from three types of coagulants showed a maximum … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 23 Jan 2014 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
