“…Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that landfills are, similarly to wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), emission sources of semivolatile PFASs to the ambient air (Ahrens et al, 2011;Weinberg et al, 2011). Studies on PFASs in municipal landfill leachates have been conducted mainly in three regions all over the world: North America (Huset et al, 2011;Benskin et al, 2012;Li et al, 2012;Gewurtz et al, 2013;Allred et al;Clarke et al, 2015), Europe (Woldegiorgis et al, 2006;Kallenborn et al, 2008;Eggen et al, 2010;Busch et al, 2010;Perkola et al, 2013) and China (Zhang et al, 2014;Yan et al, 2015). All the studies performed in Europe correspond to northern and central European countries.…”
