This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed wetlands are proving to be the best natural treatment system for landfill leachates. Most of the contaminants in landfill leachates are degraded in treatment wetlands. Potential for long-term sustainability and significant cost savings are attractive features of this eco-technology. Documentation of the experience in this use of constructed wetlands has been limited. Constructed Wetlands for the Treatment of Landfill Leachates is the first compilation of the results of research from North America and Europe. Originally presented at an international symposium, this collection of papers offers the most recent research findings from the leading researchers in this new and innovative natural treatment system. Specific issues addressed in the text include: leachate characteristics, and the potential for treatability by constructed wetlands wetland treatment, processes and transformation use of constructed wetlands in cold climatic conditions assessment of the tolerance of wetland plants to the toxicity of leachates role of plants in the treatments of leachates integrated wetland systems performance of different wetland treatment systems cost comparisons of wetland technology vs. traditional treatment technologies The potential for environmental contamination due to leachates from landfills is increasing, and there is an urgent need to find ways and means to treat leachates in a sustainable way Constructed Wetlands for the Treatment of Landfill Leachates will provide an invaluable source of information on the subject for scientists, engineers, practitioners, policy makers, and regulatory officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landfill leachates contain both dissolved and suspended material and may pose a threat to the environment because of the toxic substances that it carries and contaminates surface water and groundwater. They are composed of several different categories of components out of which many of them are recalcitrant and highly toxic. Major components of landfill leachates are dissolved organic compounds, inorganic macro compounds, heavy metals such as copper, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel etc. and xenobiotic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls. Complex organic compounds which are released from industrial effluents like perfluorooctanoic acid and benzothiazole are also common in many of the landfill leachates. Biological treatment is a low cost effective method for the treatment of landfill leachates which can act as an accelerator for further treatment by either chemical or physical method. Improved strategies have been developed in the biological treatment of leachates which shows the efficiency of the system. But, as leachate characteristics vary depending on the rainfall and other environmental factors, it is important to first thoroughly analyze the physical and chemical properties of the landfill under study. A combined effort involving proper analysis of the leachate components, monitoring leachate flow, risk assessment, and treatment of the leachate before its release is required to efficiently control its impact to the environment.

Download or read book The Impacts of Municipal Landfill Leachate on Groundwater Quality written by Adeolu Aderemi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Municipal solid waste disposal is a global concern, most especially in a developing nation like Nigeria where landfills are better categorized as open dumps, sited for convenience and usually involve the pitching of garbage into pre-existing holes. These open pits are located near residential housing, posing a threat to public health and the environment. Leachate, a high-strength wastewater, generated from the dumps poses a serious contamination risk to groundwater. This work was therefore done to assess the impacts of leachate percolation on groundwater quality and evaluate its toxicity using the African catfish. The occurrence of some conventional contaminants in some of the groundwater samples at concentrations above the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limits for drinking water is a serious health concern. The results from the acute toxicity study reveal that the leachate is toxic and would be of assistance in the ecological risk assessment of landfills. The book calls for the stakeholders in solid waste management to make sustainable practices a high priority and construct well engineered landfills to ensure the protection of human health and the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This [volume] provides a general overview of phytotechnologies. Authors from private industry, academia, the consulting community and regulatory agencies have all contributed to [it]. Starting with the basic processes and mechanisms occurring in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, the typical applications of vegetation for cleaning up and remediating contaminated sites are described. Since the growth of vegetation is paramount to this technology, the factors within the subsurface environment affecting growth are discussed in detail as well. These include the processes and factors in the soil environment that affect the plant and the subsurface microbial community. After these two "introductory" chapters, the most prevalent applications of phytotechnologies are reviewed. These include vegetated systems for treating organic and inorganic contaminants in solid media, hydraulic systems for controlling and treating contaminant groundwater plumes, and vegetative covers for surface water protection and landfill leachate management. Finally, this monograph concludes with a discussion of the regulatory implications of applying this technology towards the clean up and remediation of contaminated sites worldwide."--Pages ix-x

Download or read book Environmental Toxicology II written by C. A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental toxicology is one of the most interdisciplinary sciences. Biologists, microbiologists, chemists, engineers, environmentalists, ecologists and other scientists work together in this new scientific discipline. Assessment of the environmental effects of chemicals is complicated as it depends on the organisms tested and involves not only the toxicity of individual chemicals, but also their interactive effects (including antagonistic and synergistic ones), and genotoxicity, mutagenicity and immunotoxicity testing. Hazardous waste management is closely related to environmental toxicology and there is a growing need for techniques and practices to minimize the environmental effects of chemicals. This volume contains the contributions presented at the 2nd Conference on Environmental Toxicology, which was held in Granada, Spain in 2008. The papers cover the following subject areas: Risk Assessment; Human Health Risk; Effluent Toxicity; Bioaccumulation of Chemicals; Biodegredation and Bioremediation; Biological Effects Monitoring; Laboratory Tests and Validation; Ecotoxicity of Emerging Chemicals; New Trends in Environmental Toxicology.
