Abstract EN
Landfill sites are potential sources of human and environmental hazards.
Leachate produced form these waste dumping sites is heterogeneous and exhibits huge temporal and seasonal variations.
Leachate pollution index (LPI) provides an overall pollution potential of a landfill site.
The parameters required to calculate LPI from a landfill site are discussed in terms of their variations over time, and their significance has been highlighted in the context of LPI.
The LPI values of two semiaerobic and two anaerobic landfill sites in Malaysia have been calculated in this study.
Pulau Burung Landfill Site (PBLS) was found to have the highest LPI score while Ampang Jajar Landfill Site (AJLS) showed the lowest LPI as compared to other landfills.
It is concluded that LPI value can be used as a tool to assess the leachate pollution potential from landfill sites particularly at places where there is a high risk of leachate migration and pollution of groundwater.
