Zanieczyszczenie gruntów pod nieuszczelnionym gminnym składowiskiem odpadów komunalnych

Abstract

Analysis of the communal municipal waste landfill, situated in the Podlasie region, was performed in the paper. The landfill had been located randomly, without any barriers, and landfill operation was carried out without clearly defi ned rules. Execution of three research holes and collection of soil samples enabled an assessment of the soil chemical composition for selected pollution indicators, showing elevated values in groundwater, i.e. Zn, Cu, TOC, PAHs. The analysis of the pollutant movement was presented in relation to depth, occurrence of groundwater table and soil filtration coefficient.
