Municipal landfill leachates: A significant source for new and emerging pollutants

Gas Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry for Characterization of Liquid Products from Pyrolysis of Municipal Waste and Spent Tyres

“…The composition of generated waste is extremely variable as a consequence of seasonal circumstances, lifestyle, demographic, geographic, and legislation impacts [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This variability makes defining and measuring the composition of waste more difficult and, at the same time, more essential.…”

Study of the zinc action on the 2-chloroethyl 2-bromo-2-perfluoroalkylethanoates

“…Such compounds are used as surfactants [17][18][19][20], agrochemicals [21,22], pharmaceutical [23][24][25][26][27], biological [28] and medical agents [29,30]. While they are detected in human bodies [31,32], municipal water and solid wastes in different industrial areas around the world [33][34][35] and considered as high polluter for environment and toxic compounds [36,37], perfluoroalkyl acids are interesting compounds used as tensioactifs [38][39][40], fire-fighting foam [41][42][43], fluoropolymers [44] and other important applications.…”

Occurrence and ecological potential of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in groundwater and reservoirs in the vicinity of municipal landfills in China

“…Landfilling is so far the most common practice for the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) worldwide (Buszka et al, 2009;Eggen et al, 2010). Some solid wastes, such as discarded pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), plastic products, and electrical products, may release hazardous substances into landfill leachate and subsequently into recipient environments, threatening the health of ecosystems and even human beings (Eggen et al, 2010).…”

“…Some solid wastes, such as discarded pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), plastic products, and electrical products, may release hazardous substances into landfill leachate and subsequently into recipient environments, threatening the health of ecosystems and even human beings (Eggen et al, 2010). A variety of chemicals, including high concentrations of dissolved organic/inorganic carbon, ammonium, methane, and heavy metals, have been detected in landfill leachate (Befenati et al, 2003;Li et al, 2014;Peng et al, 2014;Roy et al, 2014;Yamamoto et al, 2001).…”
