“…The hazards of damaged LIBs are in addition to conventional landfill fires, which produce a mixture of toxic gases and smoke 77,93 consisting of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [94][95][96] , dioxins/furans [97][98][99][100][101] , volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 102,103 , heavy metals 104,105 polychlorinated biphenyls or organochlorine pesticides 104 and finally, particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm 106,107 . Subsurface fires favour the generation of harmful gases such as CO, SO 2 or H 2 S 77 -some of these gases are also generated within burning batteries [19][20][21][22][23][24] .…”

Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with important implications for human health, environmental preservation, sustainability and circular economy. The method of sanitary landfilling for final disposal of waste remains a generally accepted and used method but the available scientific evidence on the waste-related environmental and health effects is not conclusive. Comparative studies of various WM methods (landfilling, incineration, composting etc.) show that among the municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment and disposal technological options, sanitary landfilling or open dumping is popular in most countries because of the relative low cost and low-technical requirement. The European Union (EU) Directive on waste landfills has introduced specific goals for reducing the volume of disposed waste and very strict requirements for landfilling and landfill sites. Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment is a crucial topic in the literature and has received increased attention recently, given growing environmental concerns. The main goal of this survey was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of possible impacts of MSW landfills on the environment. The main conclusion of the overall assessment of the literature is that the disposal of MSW in landfills entails a number of environmental risks but with respect to the current situation and rich style of living adopted in industrially developed countries, the idea of WM systems functioning without landfilling—at least in the foreseeable future within one generation—seems to be somewhat unreal. The results also provided important information of landfills as a source of environmental risk. Results of this research may have an important impact on landfill management and the disposal of waste. From the literature review, it is evident that even if high levels of waste avoidance, reuse and recycling are achieved, some waste materials will always need to be forwarded for disposal.

Over the years, the generation of municipal waste in India has increased significantly. Solid waste management has become an important issue due to poor waste management practices affect public health and urban services. Municipal waste generation increases with increasing population, urbanization and industrialization. Municipal solid wastes disposal is a stinging and widespread problem in many developed and developing countries, in both urban and rural areas. Municipal waste management solutions must be economically sustainable, technically feasible, social, legally acceptable and environmentally friendly. Sanitary landfilling is popular in most countries because of the due to its relatively low cost and low technical requirements This paper mainly review on need to dispose of municipal waste, sanitary land filling method of disposal of MSW, Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment such leachate, land fill gases (LFG), land fill fires (LFF), strategies for effective management of sanitary landfills and sustainable measures (reduce, reuse and recycle) to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Keywords: Municipal solid waste, Sanitary landfill, leachate, land fill gases (LFG) and land fill fires (LFF).
