Groundwater contamination from a municipal landfill: Effect of age, landfill closure, and season on groundwater chemistry

TL;DR: A study where waste age, landfill closure, and season were compared with changes in water quality, using a twenty-four-year groundwater chemistry dataset showed strong attenuation of pollutants with distance, demonstrating the feasibility of the aquifer acting as a natural treatment plant to the pollutants.

Column test-based optimization of the permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technique for remediating groundwater contaminated by landfill leachates.

TL;DR: The main contributors to the removal of organic/inorganic contaminants were ZVI and AC, and the optimum weight ratio of the three PRB materials for removing the contaminants and maintaining adequate hydraulic conductivity was found to be 5:1:4.

Inhibition of anaerobic ammonium oxidation by heavy metals

TL;DR: In this article, the inhibitory effects of six common metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, and molybdate) on anammox activity were investigated.

Heavy metals in leachate, impacted soils and natural soils of different landfills in Malaysia: An alarming threat.

TL;DR: The impacted soils showed high heavy metal concentrations especially at non-sanitary unlined landfills, as compared to background values, and natural soil nearby the landfiller, as well as some other factors such as redox conditions, anoxic environments, pH, oxidation state of metals and microbial activities.

Chemical pollution and toxicity of water samples from stream receiving leachate from controlled municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill

TL;DR: The present study aimed to determine the impact of municipal waste landfill on the pollution level of surface waters, and to investigate whether the choice and number of physical and chemical parameters monitored are sufficient for determining the actual risk related to bioavailability and mobility of contaminants.
