Abstract
Assessment of the Condition of Pine Plantations in the Area of Influence of Municipal Waste Landfills on the Example of the Zhytomyr Landfill, Ukraine
Highlights
Landfills are the world’s most common way of disposing of municipal solid waste
According to the established indices of the condition of pine plantations, a regression analysis was performed and a mathematical dependence was determined, which most accurately describes the change of these indicators with the distance from the landfill boundary (Fig. 3)
According to the results of the research, it was established that Scots pine is a convenient and acceptable bioindicator for assessing the state of the environment in the area of municipal waste landfills, provided that its distribution is uniform on the territory and it is available for research
Summary
Landfills are the world’s most common way of disposing of municipal solid waste. Ukraine is in the process of harmonizing national legislation in the field of solid waste management with European standards. Mixed collection and disposal (> 90%) remains a typical waste management scheme in Ukraine. The vast majority of municipal waste is stored in landfills, spontaneous or specially organized. Most of the landfills in Ukraine today are already located within the urban territory, occupy significant areas and are called solid waste landfills (their facilities and operating conditions do not meet the regulatory requirements and are environmentally hazardous). About 1600 km of land in Ukraine is occupied by waste (one of the highest rates of waste accumulation in the world); today, there are more than 2000 facilities in the country that were organized without projects and engineering and hydrogeological surveys
