Impact of urban landfill on soil quality. Case study towns: Aiud and Gura-Humorulu
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The study presents waste disposal problems in inconsistent conditions and their effect on environmental factors. We analyzed in parallel the monitoring results for 6 months, 3 months, of soil quality in the immediate vicinity of two landfills in different locations: Aiud (Alba County) and Gura Humorului (Suceava County). At building the deposits no sealing of the platform ground was done, and also there weren’t provided any plans to make drainage systems, sewage collection and water infiltration through the landfill. It is discharged into the soil, thus favoring the infiltration of various pollutants. This paper aims to assess the impact of inadequate storage conditions of domestic wastes. The objective is to determine the concentration of soil heavy metals (Pb[sup]2+[/sup], Cu[sup]2+[/sup], Cd[sup]2+[/sup]and Zn[sup]2+[/sup]) so as to evaluate the degree of soil pollution in and around landfill sites in the two localities. After the test results came, we performed tables and graphs and drew conclusions from them, regarding the variation in pollutant, points most strongly influenced by the deposit activity and correlation of monitored parameters.
