“…Subsequently this state is manifested by an effect on the growth and productivity of crops as well as on human and animal health [55]. Equally worth emphasizing is the monitoring of ammonium concentration in the leachate and its impact on the surrounding agricultural areas [54][55][56]. This is important because during their migration through the soil profile to deeper horizons they can contaminate underground sources of water [56].…”

Landfill leachates are potentially harmful to the environment and to human health. The objective of this study was to characterize leachates in order to analyze whether a relationship exists between the stored waste and the composition of leachates, and to detect possible leakages of pollutants into the environment. To achieve these objectives, field data, Global Positioning System data and physico-chemical data were used. Biological tests are becoming increasingly popular in determining leachate toxicity; therefore, two toxicity tests were performed with the seeds of white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) and duckweed (Lemna minor L.). Leachates were sampled from the leachate pond. Groundwater quality was monitored by using drill holes. The research and analysis carried out are important to determine their potential impact on agricultural areas located near the landfill. Demonstrably increased (P < 0.05) concentrations of heavy metals were detected only in the leachate pond which closes the landfill body, where it links up with the landfill insulation layer. Water sampled from drill holes reaching into groundwater was not contaminated. The results showed that the leachates did not leak outside the landfill. Nevertheless, they were found to be phytotoxic. Both toxicity tests showed that the increasing amount of leachates resulted in the increasing growth inhibition of the tested plants. The proper handling of leachates should have been ensured.

“…In comparison, losses of N during composting can be as much as 50%, and can reach 90% during biomass pyrolysis (Smith et al, 2014). In addition, 50-75% of total N in the digestates was ammonium (NH 4 + ) which can be readily taken up by plants without further chemical or biological conversion (Losak et al, 2014). The content of bioavailable phosphorous (P bio ) was not high and ranged between 0.16%TS (for MG silage) and 0.58%TS (for ZM + M40 silage).…”

“…This product, resulted from the digestion process contains more inorganic nitrogen than non-digested organic fertilizers, and, in consequence, more nitrogen in a form available for plants [88]. Previous studies conducted in EU countries demonstrated the possibility of using the digestate as a replacement for the traditional fertilizer or soil amendment, with the benefits both for the farmers (impact on the crop yields) and soil properties [89][90][91][92][93]. Nevertheless, in some cases the digestate management can be problematic for the biogas producers.…”

Adequate management of biomass residues generated by agricultural and food industry can reduce their negative impacts on the environment. The alternative use for agricultural waste is production of biogas. Biomass feedstock intended as a substrate for the agricultural biogas plants may include energy crops, bio-waste, products of animal and plant origin and organic residues from food production. This study reviews the potential of selected biomass residues from the agri-food industry in terms of use for agricultural biogas production in Poland. The most common agri-food residues used as substrates for biogas plants in Poland are maize silage, slurry, and distillery waste. It is important that the input for the agricultural biogas installations can be based on local wastes and co-products that require appropriate disposal or storage conditions and might be burdensome for the environment. The study also discusses several limitations that might have an unfavourable impact regarding biogas plants development in Poland. Given the estimated biomass potential, the assumptions defining the scope of use of agricultural biogas and the undeniable benefits provided by biogas production, agricultural biogas plants should be considered as a promising branch of sustainable electricity and thermal energy production in Poland, especially in rural areas.
