Solid communal waste. Problems

• Insufficient attention, paid up to the problem of
  waste producing and utilizing
• Constant increasing of waste quantity
• Producing solid communal waste, mainly within
  city agglomerations
• Different solid communal waste composition
• International problem, mainly within border
  territories
• Annual solid communal waste producing in Russia
  is 30-40 million of tones (260-280 kg/year per 1
  person or 1,4-1,5 m3/year per 1 person)

18
Solid communal waste . Problems

Specific properties of solid communal waste

• Consolidation
• (ability to produce leachate without the impact
  from outside).
• !!!? 200 liters of leachate are produced under
  the natural consolidation of 1 tone of solid
  communal waste .
• Causing corrosion effect
• (caused by high humidity and presence of
  different salt solutions in the leachate)
• Abrasive effect
• (Caused by hard fractions of solid communal
  waste cause)
• High concentration of carbon-bearing materials
• (paper, polyethylene, plastic)
• Different chemical composition

20
Landfills. Dangerous effects

• Landfills pollute following environmental
  objects
• Air
• Soil
• Plants
• Surface water
• Underground water

21
Waste processing system

• Aim
• Modernization of waste processing system
• Tasks
• 1). Modernizing waste collecting, sorting and
  recycling systems
• 2). Changing waste processing legislation
• 3). Ecological and analytical monitoring
  landfills state and assessing their
  environmental impact
• !!!? Being added to modernization of waste
  processing system, assessing and monitoring
  landfills state is one of the most important
  parts of the WASTE PROBLEM

Landfills underground water state. Conclusion

• Arkhangelsk landfill is a powerful polluter of
  underground water
• Significant polluters MPC exceeding has been
  discovered
• mercury (1,5 MPC), dry residue (4 MPC), COD (520
  MPC), ammonium ion (263 MPC), potassium (7,5
  MPC), ?????? (?? 2,1 ???), ??????? (?? 20 ???),
  chloride ion (12 MPC), bromide ion (36 MPC), iron
  (50 MC), oil products (35 MPC).
• !!!? Being taken further out of the landfill
  site, underground water samples contain less
  pollutants due to peat soil sorption ability
• Probably, surface water is polluted due to
  migration of pollutants with underground water
  flow
