STATISTICAL AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SOIL POLLUTION FROM KOSHTOVA LANDFILL MITROVICE - KOSOVO
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to conduct a research on soil pollution in the village of Koshtove (Mitrovica/Kosovo), from the sanitary landfill, in this landfill all waste from the cities of Mitrovica, Vushtria and Skenderaj are collected. The growth of population and industry also increases the amount of waste, this study aims to study the level of soil pollution from the sanitary landfill of Koshtova, the village in the western part of the city of Mitrovica. This area has been clean, by the river Iber, the construction of the landfill has started to pollute the water flowing from the landfill where the soil is also polluted by this water. Through this research we have taken 6 soil samples which we have processed, analyzed, from this research we will see a distribution of some polluting elements in this area. Samples were taken at a depth of 25 to 40 cm, in quantities of approximately 200 g, which were placed in Zip bags, writing number of samples, date of sampling, X, Y and Z coordinates in KosovaREF coordinate system, and filling the notebook with the description of the area where it was taken samples. From the results presented, we see that Pb has a large distribution in this area with an average of 32.68 ppm, as well as Fe has a fairly large distribution with an average of 49775 ppm, which represents a high degree of distribution despite that in the sediments of the river Iber there is a rather small distribution compared to this. Likewise, the distribution of Cu is quite large and this study shows us that we are dealing with a very serious and dangerous pollution. So, from this study we can distinguish the degree of pollution, the source of pollution of the river sediment and the soil under the dump where we have a high occurrence of pollution.
