TLDR
The literature has been critically reviewed in order to assess the attenuation processes governing contaminants in leachate affected aquifers as discussed by the authors, focusing on dissolved organic matter, xenobiotic organic compounds, inorganic macrocomponents as anions and cations, and heavy metals.About:

Xenobiotic Organic Compounds in a Landfill Leachate
TL;DR: In this paper , leachate samples were collected from Al Amirat un engineered landfill in Muscat in order to examine the presence of XOCs, and the results showed the presence with some kinds of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene) and phthalates in low quantities.

Toxicological Impact of Leachates from Lemna Refuse Dump Site on African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell 1882) Fingerlings Under Laboratory Condition
TL;DR: Dumpsites are sited at a distance far from water bodies and areas inhabited by human, to mitigate the leeching of leachate into nearby aquatic systems and against indiscriminate discharge of waste into drainage channels and any aquatic system should be enforced by Government.

Physico-chemical characterization of meknes municipal landfill leachate and assessment of the seasonal effects using pca
Abstract: The increase of population and the bad management of municipal solid waste (MSW) lead to a spectacular increase of the landfill leachates volume. These effluents represent a very harmful threat that can affect the environment and the ecosystems, their control and treatment became the first occupation of the authorities. In this context, this study contributes to characterize the landfill leachate composition and how its changes over different seasons. The results have shown an intermediate leachate with high concentration of organics and minerals components, with an average of 16 455.71 mg O2/L for COD, 6681.86 mg O2/L for BOD5, 2469.57 mg/L for Suspended matter (SM), 2990 mg/L for Ammonium and 31259.71 S/cm for Electrical Conductivity (EC). The leachate parameters seasonal variations were revealed by the principal analysis component (PCA); an explorative tool. Conferring to PCA results, we can define the correlation between the parameters concentrations and the climatic conditions (Temperature and precipitations). The parameters such as electrical conductivity, suspended solids, BOD5, COD, ammonium, correlate positively with temperature values, that means, the warmer is the season, the higher are the values. While for pH, dissolved oxygen and nitrates values, there is a negative correlation, which means that their loads increase during cold and rainy periods. This work helps to understand the composition of landfill leachates, to induce the seasonal effect on it and to guide the treatment chain to attend the most stringent discharge standards.
Assessing landfill contamination in Wyoming
TL;DR: Gade et al. as mentioned in this paper explored an extensive chemical database on groundwater quality around landfills across Wyoming and found that typical solute concentrations of sodium, sulfate, and chloride the State uses to indicate contamination do not significantly correlate with volatile anthropogenic organics in contaminated water samples, such as benzene and toluene.

Synoptic Risk Assessment of Groundwater Contamination from Landfills
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a method of synoptic risk assessment based on a conceptual model of the landfill and the results of chemical groundwater monitoring tested at 69 landfills in Slovenia.

TL;DR: The physiological characteristics of Geobacter species appear to explain why they have consistently been found to be the predominant Fe(III)- and Mn(IV)-reducing microorganisms in a variety of sedimentary environments.
