This book gives an overview of recent findings on the mitigation
of gas emission from landfills and sludge processing. Special
attention is given to methane and the migration of POPs, heavy
metal ions, ammonia and nitrate from landfills to the water-soil
system and to the atmosphere. Strategies for mitigating the
impact of pollution on ecosystems are also discussed. This book
contains thirty-one selected papers presented at an
International Workshop on Management of Pollutant Emission from
Landfills and Sludge, Kazimierz Dolny, Poland,16-19 September
2006. Mitigation of gas emission from landfills. Pathway of POPs
in the waste, wastewater and landfill leachate. Migration of
heavy metals from waste disposal sites and sewage sludge.
Minimization of the impact of waste and sewage sludge on the
environment. Chemical composition and treatment of landfill
leachate. Possibility of practical utilization of waste and
sewage sludge. Miscellanea.
