Leachate as a result from waste decomposition at landfills potentially contain toxic materials, including metals and organic matters. This leachate produces several environmental issues, including groundwater and surface water resources contamination. The landfill leachate can penetrate to the soil, blend with the soil water, flow to the soil surface, and then disembogue at the river channel. The contamination processes will vary depending on the contaminating substances and their degradation zone. Our study focused on analyzing sulfide and ammonia in the leachate. The sulfide and ammonia degradation zone have been determined by measuring the concentration of sulfide and ammonia using Spectro quant NOVA 60. The degradation zone determination ranged from the distances: 0 m, 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, and 200 m direct to the north, south, and west, and at distances of 0 m and 400 m in the east direction. The range of degradation zone based on the concentration of sulfide, ammonia, and DO (dissolved oxygen) was in a range between 150 m and 200 m from the leachate water reservoir located at TPA Pakusari (Pakusari Landfill) Jember.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
