“…Conversely, recent studies (Su et al 2019 ; He et al 2019 ) provided evidence of microplastic in landfill leachate (around 13 items/L) in China and He et al, ( 2019 ) stated that landfill may not the final sink of plastics, rather a potential source of microplastics; which also act as a vector for different micropolllutants (Bollmann et al 2019 ). Further, Urase et al, ( 2007 ) found micropollutants (bisphenol and toluene) in leachate from an open dump site in Thailand. In the solid waste disposal site, heat is generated by the biodegradation of wastes and this play a role in the release of the micropollutants from plastic wastes (Urase et al 2007 ).…”

Impact of landfill leachate contamination on surface and groundwater of Bangladesh: a systematic review and possible public health risks assessment

Dumping of solid waste in the non-engineered landfill is very common in the developing countries. Among the different disadvantages of this kind of landfilling, leachate is the major concern to public health, which is a toxic byproduct generated from the landfill; and can percolate to the ground water and consequently migrate in surface water. Using systematic review on published data, the present study endeavors to compare the leachate contamination potential of four major landfills of Bangladesh, named Amin Bazar, Matuail, Mogla Bazar and Rowfabad; which are situated in 3 of the 6 big mega cities of Bangladesh and assessed the effects of leachate leakage on surrounding water body as well as on human health. This study, for the first time calculated the leachate pollution index (LPI) for the landfill sites of Bangladesh and found that the LPI of Matuail landfill site (19.81) is much higher which is comparable to some polluted landfill sites of India and Malaysia. The concentrations of several potentially toxic metals found in the surface and ground water in the vicinity of the landfill sites were above the maximum permissible limit values of department of Environment, Bangladesh and World Health Organization (WHO). The human health risk index for toxic heavy metals in different vegetables and rice grain showed high health risk potential for Pb, Cd, Ni, and Mn. The total carcinogenic risk for Ni and Pb are found very high in the edible plants near those landfill sites, suggesting the risk of Ni and Pb induced carcinogenesis by the consumption of those plants. The present conditions of surface, ground water and agriculture products near the landfill sites of Bangladesh are much frightening to the biota and local inhabitants.

“…A previous review of LM projects executed in 21 countries from the Middle East, Asia, North America, and Europe identified that only Thailand researched LM in Southeast Asia [22]. According to this research, the LM projects in the Nonthaburi and Maung Pathum landfills in Thailand were operated using the open dumping method [23,24]. This method is different from that of the Bantargebang integrated SWTF, which used a controlled landfill technique.…”

Landfill in Bantargebang integrated solid waste treatment facility received 85% of the municipal solid waste of Jakarta Province in 2021. Since it is almost filled, the government operated a landfill mining (LM). This research aimed to characterize and evaluate the humate soil potential from mined material (MM) for agriculture. The weight, volume, and density of MM were measured on randomly selected collection vehicles in the LM location for eight consecutive days on March 2–15, 2022. Composition analysis was conducted by sieving and classifying samples into fine (FF), medium (MF), and coarse fractions (CF) of < 10 mm, 10–30 mm, and > 30 mm, respectively. MM had a weight, volume, and density of 81.43±13,03 tons/day, 147.84±33.31 m3/day, and 0.56±0.06 tons/m3, respectively. FF had soil-like material of 13.96±1.12%, while MF was 18.74±1.10%. Both fractions contained moisture, volatile solids, ash, carbon, nitrogen, and C/N ratio of 56.92–63.47%, 69.17–74.81%, 25.19–30.83%, 52.87– 55.67%, 1.89–2.10%, and 25.17–29.46, respectively. These characteristics met compost quality standards, except for high moisture content, which made it suitable for agriculture after moisture reduction. Meanwhile, plastics and wood-dominated CF were suitable for non-agriculture. A toxicological test is recommended to ensure the humate soil’s safe use.

Factors affecting the adsorptive removal of bisphenol A in landfill leachate by high silica Y-type zeolite

Although bisphenol A (BPA), a representative endocrine-disrupting compound, has been detected frequently in landfill leachate, effective technologies for BPA removal from landfill leachates are limited. We used high silica Y-type zeolite (HSZ-385) for the selective adsorption of BPA from landfill leachate, and factors affecting this adsorption are discussed. Higher removal efficiencies at pH 5.0-9.0 imply that neutral BPA is adsorbed more easily onto HSZ-385 than monomeric or divalent BPA anions. An increase in ionic strength and sodium acetate concentration did not affect BPA adsorption significantly, while the removal efficiency decreased slightly when more than 50 mgC/L of humic acid was added. HSZ-385 was applied to synthetic leachates that simulate the composition of landfill leachate at various degradation stages. In young acidic leachates that contain sodium acetate, the use of HSZ-385 for the adsorptive removal of BPA appears to be more effective than in old alkaline leachates, which contain large amounts of humic acid. In addition, 82 % BPA removal was achieved from young raw leachates using HSZ-385, which demonstrates that selective BPA removal from actual landfill leachate has been achieved.
