Waste and the landfills have been accompanying man for centuries. Although modern technologies limit the impact of landfills on the environment, the landfills where waste materials used to be buried still have an impact on the environment.
The studies into the waste itself are performed on small samples, mainly with static leaching tests. These are quick and relatively cheap methods. However, conducting leaching tests on small samples may result in failing to detect some leached substances. Lysimeter studies, due to their duration and the size of the sample, produce much more reliable results and thus the possibility of a more precise assessment of the threat to the aquatic environment posed by the examined waste. Lysimeter experiments are undertaken relatively rarely as they are time-consuming and expensive. The aim of this paper is presentation of currently conducted lysimeter studies on municipal landfill waste in various scientific centers. Lysimeter tests on municipal waste is one of the most difficult because of the composition of the wastes. Only a few scientific units in the world have decided to undertake lysimeter studies on municipal waste. Lysimeter studies on waste of this kind were performed among others in Turkey, Italy, Germany, Japan, India, Thailand and in two scientific centers in Poland. These tests are performed on different sizes of waste samples (25-390 liters) they are designed to determine different parameters and can last from several months to even several years. The paper also presents the preliminary results obtained within the lysimeter experiment, which was carried out by the authors at the municipal waste landfill in Tychy Urbanowice (southern Poland). |
