Characterization of Leachate from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfilling Sites of Kuberpur, Agra
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The present paper describes the characteristics of leachate generated from municipal solid waste landfilling sites of Kuberpur, Agra. The main objective of this study was to collected and analysed for various physic-chemical parameters to estimate its pollution potential. This paper provides a reliable and robust database to serve as a reference for the implementation of the most suitable technique for reducing the negative environmental effects of discharge leachate at Kuberpur site. It has been found that leachate contains high concentrations of organic and inorganic constituents beyond the permissible limits. While, heavy metals concentration was in trace amount as the waste is domestic in nature. The data presented in this study indicated that the age of the landfill has a significant effect on leachate composition. The biodegradable fraction of organic pollutants in the leachate decreases as an outcome of the anaerobic decomposition occurring in the landfill.
