“…The lower values of COD and BOD5 in the surface water relative to its values in the leachates indicates higher values of dissolved oxygen in the river relative to the leachates samples from the dumpsites. Present findings revealed that the leachates may be potential source of adjacent water sources contamination, also previous findings documented that the leachates are one of the main sources of river water contamination (Ayandiran et al, 2018;Camaño Silvestrini et al, 2019;Deng et al, 2019;Hobson et al, 2018;Kang et al, 2019;Kayembe et al, 2018;Mor et al, 2018;Qu et al, 2019;Rai et al, 2019;Rezapour et al, 2018;Scandelai et al, 2018;Tanikawa et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2018;Xiong et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2018;Yuan et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2018).…”

The physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal levels of leachates at the Rumuodumaya dumpsites and the surface water of its adjacent river was investigated by appropriate field instrument for in situ measurement, standard procedures and AGILENT 55B spectra for the heavy metals. The results from the dumpsites and surface water of the river generally indicate that as of the time of analysis, there is no serious threat to its immediate environment except the nickel concentrations in the dumpsites and surface water of the river, respectively and whose values were beyond the recommended limit of WHO/USEPA (0.05 mg/L) for safe drinking water. The trend of the results also indicates that the dumpsites are sources of numerous soil and water pollutants capable of depleting oxygen levels in the river and this could pose several and serious health risk to humans and aquatic life. Adequate solid waste disposal technique should be adopted by the appropriate agency to forestall this threat to the Rumuodumaya environment.

“…So, there would be a serious risk associated with the availability and mobility of trace elements, including the excess of micronutrients. In general, the addition of MSW increases the presence of trace elements in the soil [62]. Long-term application of municipal solid waste compost may result in accumulation of toxic metals in amended soil, as it has been demonstrated [64].…”

“…In general, an increment in leaching and changes in plant composition have been observed and can lead to environmental problems related to water contamination and the accumulation in the food chain of trace elements. Rezapour et al [62] observed that soils were significantly enriched by the available and total fractions of the metals in the sequences of Zn > Pb > Ni > Cd > Cu and Cd > Zn > Ni > Pb > Cu, respectively. Nevertheless, only the Cd content exceeded the standard levels.…”

The European Union (EU) is one of the major producers of municipal solid wastes and has a common policy based on circular economy to reuse the wastes. However, there are differences between countries and the methods for disposal and treatments. Municipal solid waste (MSW) can be composted and recycled as a source of plant nutrients and improves soil properties. This chapter analyzed the production in the EU and the effects on plant nutrients and environmental pollutants when MSW is added to the soil. The origin of the waste and the compost-like output (CLO) derived is important to determine the expectative of nutrient availability and other possible risks. MSW is so heterogeneous, but after a good pretreatment, an organic-rich matter mix can be composted giving a stabilized organic matter. The addition of the CLO to the soils can improve the nutrient status and favor the bioavailability of nutrients (macronutrients and micronutrients). In general, an increment of N and P was found in the soils. Moreover, important micronutrient availability (Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn) has been described. However, the presence of pollutants and their mobility should be considered as an environmental risk.

Groundwater contaminations based on the release and transportation of leachate from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are a potential hazard to the ecosystem and its inhabitants. In this study, nine chemical compositions of groundwater quality were collected and analysed from 16 monitoring wells and two ponds around the Diaoyushan MSW landfill in the north of Jiangsu Province, China. Multiple analyses were performed to assess the redox conditions and the groundwater environment. It was indicated that the landfill was in a low and stable biodegradability phase, and the most influential phase was the initial stage of the landfill site; the leachate leakage was the principal pollution source (49.18%) for the local groundwater environment. Artificial drainage of Dongdasha village expanded the contaminant plume scopes and deteriorated water quality further. The polluted groundwater area was provided with high concentrations of total hardness, Cl−, SO42−, total dissolved solids (TDS) and Pb.
