A Study on Estimating the Leachate Pollution Index at Ghazipur Landfill Site
Downloads
In recent years managing solid wastes has been one of the burning problems in front of state and local municipal authorities. This is mainly due to scarcity of lands for landfill sites. In this context experts suggest that conversion of solid waste to energy and useful component is the best approach to reduce space and public health related problems. The objective of the study is twofold. First authors assessed the current status of solid waste management practices in India. Secondly authors identified a major sanitary landfill site in Ghazipur located near Delhi-U.P border in India and collected leachate samples over a period of one year to determine the leachate quality and identify the dominant pollutants. Further an assessment of leachate pollution potential of the active and closed dumping ground of uncontrolled municipal solid waste landfill site is done using leachate pollution index. Finally the conclusions are drawn which will assist policy makers in designing sustainable waste management programs
