The Generation, Composition and Fate of Landfill Leachate: A Review
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
The quantity of waste generated each year is in increase. Landfilling is one of the predominant methods for municipal waste disposal. Unfortunately, leachate is formed during the landfill operations. Therefore, proper management of leachate is essential to avoid unwanted impacts on the environment. In order to do that, the composition in relation to stage of generation should be studied. In this review, the generation and composition of leachate are highlighted.
