Heavy metal contamination of soil and water from waste landfill sites in the second-largest city of Bangladesh

Assessment of Soil Contamination in and Around Municipal Solid Waste Landfills of Ghazipur and Narela-Bawana, Delhi

Abstract This research was designed to evaluate soil contamination in the Ghazipur (non-engineered) and Narela-Bawana (engineered) landfills of Delhi. The soil sampling was carried out at five locations in each landfill that includes landfill sites and their surrounding areas. Total ten physicochemical parameters and e...

Seasonal dynamics of heavy metal concentrations from municipal solid waste landfill leachate in Varanasi: impact on groundwater quality and human health

INVESTIGATION OF HEAVY METAL POLLUTION IN SOIL IN ESKISEHIR LANDFILL DRAINAGE AREA

This study assesses the extent of heavy metal contamination in the soil of the Eskişehir landfill drainage area in northwest Türkiye, where long-term waste accumulation and leachate pose potential environmental risks. Two boreholes were drilled to a depth of 30 meters downstream of the landfill site, and soil samples w...

Assessment of leached heavy metals from construction and demolition waste

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a substantial environmental concern due to the presence of heavy metals that leach into soils and groundwater. This study investigates the concentrations and spatial migration patterns of heavy metals leached from CDW at a construction site in Kumasi, Ghana. Samples of CDW and...

Heavy-metal Contamination of Soils and Water in the Apkai and Umusedege Oil-field Communities, Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West, Delta State, Nigeria

Petroleum exploration and production can introduce potentially toxic metals into the soils and water bodies of host communities, with consequences for both ecosystem integrity and human exposure. This study assessed the concentrations and distribution of ten heavy metals: Ni, Cr, Cu, Co, Pb, Cd, Fe, Mn, As and Zn in so...

Seasonal variation and ecological-human health risk assessment of toxic elements and microbial contaminants in a municipal landfill, central Thailand

Landfilling is a common method for disposing of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Thailand. Much of this waste is deposited in open dumpsites lacking adequate environmental and health safeguards. A long-term study was conducted in the Chong Sarika district, the Lopburi provincial landfill, and their surrounding habita...
