Details

The focus of the project was the collection of actual leachate data, where available from full-scale landfill sites. The report therefore does not address leachate quality from residues of innovative pretreatment technologies (e.g. pyrolysis, gasification, anaerobic digestion) as field-scale landfills that have accepted a significant proportion of such wastes could not be identified.
