Overview

Solid waste disposal, especially after the Love Canal Incident, has become the focus of public awareness and concern for pollution. This book provides a synthesis of existing knowledge on solid waste landfilling with a focus on solving problems with landfill gas, managing laechate and implementing environmentally secure operating procedures. It explores the fundamentals of solid waste decomposition, and considers how these influence landfill design, operational features, and improvements in overall site performance. Key areas of coverage include the social, economic and technical factors associated with solid waste landfilling, including all environmental applications especially water quality and the treatment of landfill generated gas.
