Results from characterisation of landfill leachates and related effluents

Abstract

A number of landfill leachates and related effluents has been characterised in research
projects from 1996 till today. Up to 400 parameters has been analysed in samples from 30
sites. A database based on the results will be available in the beginning of 2002 on
www
.ivl.se. The samples of runoff water from waste segregation areas shows higher
concentrations of some compounds compared to landfill leachates.
