The analysis of the possibility of using biological tests for assessment of toxicity of leachate from an active municipal landfill.

Abstract:

:One of the consequence of municipal waste deposition is the production of landfill leachate. Its volume and composition is determined by numerous factors, including waste composition, landfill age and the volume of precipitation. Leachate may contain a number of mineral and organic compounds, the volume of which must be controlled regularly. One of the methods of determining the toxicity of substances contained in landfill leachate is the use of biological tests, based - among others - on aquatic organisms sensitive to environmental contamination. The purpose of this study was to analyse the possibility of using ecotoxicological tests (supplementing the physical and chemical tests) for the purpose of assessment of landfill leachate toxicity. The tests were conducted at an operating municipal landfill in Stary Sącz (southern Małopolska Region, Poland N: 49°55'33"76, E: 20°65'68'70) from December 2015 to October 2016. The scope of the tests included the analysis of physical and chemical indicators as part of the landfill monitoring process, and also the analysis of additional selected indicators: namely the boron, barium and vanadium content. The selected ecotoxicological tests included tests using Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Crustacea). Leachate tests conducted with the use of physical and chemical indicators have, for nearly twenty years, mainly demonstrated changes related to the age of the used landfill; besides increased boron and barium values, no evident contamination has been found, excluding the case of boron. However, a statistically significant correlation between the B and Ba contents and the amount of precipitation was determined. In two cases, the used biological tests have confirmed the toxicity of the leachate: in January and June 2016. In the same months, the highest and abnormal boron contents were measured, which could cause a toxic effect of leachates.
