Abstract
Soil is a multicomponent system consisting of solid, liquid, and gaseous phases, and living organisms. The solid phase of soils consists of both inorganic and organic components. Inorganic components exert a tremendous effect on the physical and chemical properties, such as cation exchange capacity and surface area, and on the overall suitability of soil as a barrier for waste containment. The organic components, although normally present in much smaller quantities than inorganic components, may significantly alter the soil properties.
