2. Methods. This article reviews the open dumping and open burning of waste, main practices implemented for waste treatment and disposal in developing countries, involving many environmental and health impacts [30,31,32].Such unsustainable practices include every waste fraction, such as MSW, HW, construction & demolition …
Leachate, poisonous chemicals, GHGs, and toxin gases are the four principal concerns associated with landfills that are harmful to the ecosystem and people's health (Ashmore, 2005). The CH 4 can impair people's health when they breathe it in. O 3 exposure caused 1.0–1.2 million respiratory deaths in mature persons in 2010 ( Malley …
Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with important implications for human health, environmental preservation, sustainability and circular economy.
Landfill is considered as a primary method for disposing of municipal solid waste in numerous countries. This practice carries a significant risk of generating substantial quantities of leachate with harmful and dangerous substances that have negative impacts on both ecosystems and human populations. Therefore, proper …
Gas generation in MSW landfills is primarily a biologically mediated process, in which the complex consortium of microorganisms (bacteria) in the waste mass decompose the organic materials in the presence of an electron acceptor (i.e., oxygen, nitrate, etc.), forming new biomass, heat, extracellular byproducts (i.e., polymeric …
Landfills are among the nation's largest sources of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. But accurately measuring methane is a major challenge to reducing it.

Although the objective of this study was to quantify the health effects of broadly categorised waste and waste sites from a sustainable development perspective, the absence of direct environmental measurements also precludes quantification of different health effects due to varying types of waste sites, given possible variations in …
Additionally, landfills give off potentially harmful gases with odors that permeate neighborhoods. They are also linked to birth defects and other serious health problems. Even after they are closed, the sites are not completely safe for use as playgrounds, parking lots, athletic fields, for construction and other activities, because they can lead to …
The modern concept of sanitary landfills emerged in the mid-twentieth century as a response to the growing concern over environmental degradation caused by waste mismanagement (Ramsy 2022). These engineered landfills were designed to minimize groundwater contamination, air pollution, and other negative impacts on …
11.2.1 Impact of Landfill Leachate on Soil and Plants. Leachate is considered one of the products generated by landfills that can cause contamination to the environment. The composition of leachate differs widely, and it depends on many aspects involving the composition of waste, depth of waste, degree of moisture and oxygen, as …
Here are the causes, effects, and solutions to landfills.. According to Wikipedia, "A landfill site (also known as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump or dumping ground and historically as a midden) is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is the oldest form of waste treatment.Historically, landfills have been the most common …
The replacement rate of solar panels is faster than expected and given the current very high recycling costs, there's a real danger that all used panels will go straight to landfill (along with ...
Moreover, issues like noise, bugs, and foul odors can affect nearby communities. In summary, you should be aware that landfills carry both advantages, like job creation and efficient waste management, and …
While 25.4% (939) of the historic landfills in SPZ total catchment zones are believed to only contain inert waste, which is considered unlikely to have any negative effects upon the water environment, 50.1% (1855) contain industrial, commercial, , special, and/or liquid sludge waste and would not be permitted in …
Landfill sites, also known as sanitary landfills, are the areas where we dump waste produced by humans. As the world keeps developing, the waste we produce is also increasing. The constant increment in waste production also increases the effects of landfills on the environment. Here, you will learn about the various landfills, their …
2.3. Sample analysis. The analytical procedures for the physicochemical parameters of the samples adhered to the "Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste" (GB/16889–2008) (Ministry of Environmental Protection of the P.R. China, 2008) and the "Standard for groundwater quality" (GB/T 14848–2017) …
Various reviews have explored the health effects related to solid waste management. Cointreau [] published a detailed report on solid waste and health risks for population and workers, noting that the situation in low-income countries is usually worse.Cointreau's work is probably the most exhaustive of the last 15 years.
Landfill gases (methane and carbon dioxide) have a great fuel value; hence it can be tapped from landfills and utilized as an energy source. So the construction of sanitary landfills having a gas tapping system will prove highly beneficial in the future (Kumar and Sharma 2014; Gupta and Singh 2015).
International Scientific Conference Environmental Science for Construction Industry – ESCI 2018 Article Number 02006: Number of page(s) ... 02006 (2018) Solution of environmental problems in human settlements caused by negative effect of SDW landfills. Yelena Stupnikova and Ksenia Popova * Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution …
Residents' protests against the negative ecological and public health effects of the unregulated landfill in Salamanca have been met with legal threats from the Salamanca …
Construction and management of landfills have ecological effects that may lead to landscape changes, loss of habitats and displacement of fauna. ... that landfills likely have an adverse negative ...
Large sanitary landfills are the primary source of landfill gas in Mexico. Open dumps accounted for 25% of the landfill gas emissions in Mexico. Final disposal conditions favors the use of landfill gas for power generation.
Achieve a proper regional waste management in the municipalities of Los Herreras and Dr. Gonzalez, in the State of Nuevo Leon through construction of regional sanitary landfills, contributing to the reduction of inadequate solid disposal, soil and groundwater contamination and the risk of vector-related disease and other harmful effects. Benefits
2. Materials and Methods. The present paper utilizes a desktop research method of collecting and analyzing relevant data from the existing literature, as utilized in some previous studies [17,18].The method consists of three iterative stages shown in Figure 1: (a) scoping, (b) collecting relevant literature, and (c) data analysis.Firstly, the …
When reading this chapter, keep in mind that if people are not being exposed to landfill gases, no adverse health effects are expected. Exposures occur only if the landfill is producing harmful levels of gases and if the gases are migrating from the landfills and reaching people. Responding to community concerns about the possible health ...
Leachate from the landfill may translocate and pollute the water, soil, and groundwater, posing a risk to human health and the environment. A landfill liner is designed to form a barrier for...
