“…Johansson et al [7] and Leroux et al [8] argue that this limitation can be suppressed by taking into account the normalized chargeability. Despite this seems to be efficient in environments poor in clay content which is not the case of Brazil [9]. According to Slater and Lesmes [4], normalized chargeability is highly influenced by clay content.…”

Environmental impacts caused by urban and industrial waste disposal are one of the greatest worldwide concerns, since contaminants may migrate to the local environment and contaminate soils and groundwater. Geophysical investigations have been widely used in environmental investigations of waste disposal contaminated sites, not only imaging the affected area but also evaluating the evolution of contamination plume in a timeframe. Geophysical studies in contaminated sites consist of detecting and mapping the area affected by a contamination source and providing information related to the groundwater flow and depth of saturated zone and bedrock. Particularly, electrical methods, such as resistivity and induced polarization, can identify the presence of contaminant and help to map and delineate the contaminated area and provide information related to contaminant mobilization and attenuation. Therefore, these methods are a powerful tool for noninvasive longterm monitoring of waste disposal contaminated sites. In this chapter, we will show case studies conducted in Brazil, over different types of municipal waste disposal sites.

“…The TDIP method has been used to characterize groundwater and soil contaminant distributions in landfills [21][22][23], organic-contaminated sites [24][25][26], heavymetal-contaminated sites [27], etc. In addition, TDIP has also been applied in a large number of waste disposal sites' delineation, including the characterization of contaminants [1,28,29], the characterization of waste mass [30][31][32] and geological delineation [33].…”

Waste disposal sites are a serious concern due to their potential contamination threat. Site characterizations are the basis for contamination remediation, among which borehole-based methods are time-consuming. This study aims to utilize time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) to constrain groundwater and soil organic contamination. Fourteen TDIP profiles were arranged using three acquisition methods at a disposal site contaminated with benzene. A data quality analysis was first conducted to overcome poor signals in high-salinity groundwater conditions. The TDIP results show that solid waste can be classified into two distinct types based on chargeability. The results of induced polarization measurements and X-ray fluorescence analysis proved the presence of metal substances causing high chargeability. The waste with metals was the benzene contamination source. Finally, we propose a procedure for the integration of geophysical and geochemical methods to delineate contaminated areas. A new roll-along survey protocol was developed to meet the needs of long-profile surveys of contaminated shallow groundwater and soil sites.

“…Resistivity and induced polarization profile lines were carried out with Wenner array. Resistivity and chargeability are well known geophysical methods and are traditionally applied to mineral exploration; see the studies by Bérubé P. [1], Djroh S. P. [2], and Nicolas F. et al [3], and, in environmental studies, they are often used to delineate contaminant plumes and geological boundaries; see, for example, the studies by Vagner Roberto Elis et al [4], Aristodemou and Thomas-Betts [5], Baines et al [6], Bernstone et al [7], BLONDEL [8], and HACINI et al [9]. According to Johansson et al [10], the combination of resistivity and time domain induced polarization (IP) can improve the use of geoelectrical methods in landfill investigation.…”

The study area is located in the extreme southwest of the Ougnat Mountains in the eastern Anti-Atlas, which is part of the distorted northern margin of the West African craton. It has Late Neoproterozoic to terminal, Paleozoic and Quaternary lands. In order to obtain a better recognition of the different structural contacts and to define the alignment of mineralized veins in barite and galena at the level of the study area, we used the technique of electrical tomography. The resulting response, in the form of electrical imaging, informed us in detail about the different zones of heterogeneity existing in the prospected soil. In induced polarization, the pseudosections obtained were able to locate the passages of the zones of anomalies encountered and thus confirm their alignments defined by the electrical resistivity measurement results.
