Abstract

Abstract The leachate and groundwater samples were collected from the 2 km radius of Ghazipur landfill site. The high levels of EC, TDS, Chloride, Nitrate, Sodium, Potassium, BOD, and COD were observed in the leachate and groundwater samples. In leachate, metal concentrations were found in the order as – Fe > Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Cr > Cd. In groundwater, Zn, Ni, and Cu ranged as 0–0.386 mg/l, 0–0.013 mg/l, and 0–0.027 mg/l, respectively whereas Cd, Cr, and Pb were found in trace amount. The study clearly indicates that the percolation of leachate from the landfill site results in the contamination of groundwater of the surrounding area.

德里未衬砌垃圾填埋场附近渗滤液迁移造成的地下水污染程度

摘要从Ghazipur垃圾填埋场半径2km处采集渗滤液和地下水样本。在渗滤液和地下水样品中观察到EC、TDS、氯化物、硝酸盐、钠、钾、BOD和COD含量较高。在渗滤液中，金属浓度的顺序为–Fe>Zn>Cu>Pb>Ni>Cr>Cd。在地下水中，Zn、Ni和Cu的范围分别为0–0.386 mg/l、0–0.013 mg/l和0–0.027 mg/l，而Cd、Cr和Pb的含量为微量。研究清楚地表明，垃圾填埋场渗滤液的渗滤导致了周围地区地下水的污染。

期刊介绍： The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
