This study was aimed at determining effects of increasing simultaneous contamination of soil with Pb and Zn at doses of 200, 400 and 800 mg·kg⁻¹ and with Cd at doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg·kg⁻¹ soil, after the addition of immobilizing agents (zeolite, diatomite, chalcedonite, dolomite, limestone, and activated carbon), on selected properties of soil. In the soil without the immobilizing agents, the highest...
Waste disposal in landfills is one of most frequently used methods of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. Landfills disturb to a certain extent the landscape character and disposal of waste in landfils represents one of human activities that may impair natural ecosystems. Due to waste decomposition, numerous chemical, physical and biological reactions and changes occur within the landfill body...
Research of the biodegradability of degradable/biodegradable plastic material in various types of environments. Research was carried out in order to assess biodegradability of degradable/biodegradable materials made of HDPE and mixed with totally degradable plastic additive (TDPA additive) or made of polyethylene (PE) with the addition of pro-oxidant additive (d2w additive), advertised as 100% degradable...
Municipal solid waste landfills are considered to be important sources of groundwater contamination due to the leakage of leachate. Landfill leachate is undoubtedly one of the most challenging wastewaters in terms of treatment. Fungi can be used to treat a landfill leachate. Therefore, the aims of this research were to evaluate the biosorption potential of Pleurotus ostreatus as low-cost adsorbent...
Internationally, almost 70% of municipal solid waste is disposed of in landfills and may contain hazardous substances in the form of paints, vehicle maintenance products, mercury-containing waste, pharmaceuticals, batteries, and many other products. The present study has attempted to address the problem of hazardous waste in the context of municipal solid waste generated in a typical urban scenario...
The eco-toxicological impact of copolyesters during composting was evaluated by plant growth tests with cress (Lepidium sativum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). The research was conducted to determine if PET beverage bottles modified by lactic acid (copolyesters) and products of their biodegradation would affect compost. The results demonstrate that the composts on which the examined materials were...
