Unsuitable landfills – necessity of closure and problems to solve [articol]

Abstract

Unsuitable landfills contain significant amounts of waste accumulated over the years, representing significant sources of soil, air and groundwater pollution and population illness. There is a need to identify the problems caused by these deposits and to close them, to study and model the transport of pollutants in order to establish pollution prevention and control measures and to remedy the quality of groundwater in the area of influence of these deposits; especially in areas where underground water is used by the population (water supply, agriculture, food industry).
