Identification of some plasticizers compounds in landfill
These methodologies allow the isolation and identification of the following compounds: dioctylphthalate, diisobutilphthalate, BPA, benzoic acid, palmitic acid and diisopentylphthalate. The methods are very simple, rapid and selective, for plasticizers extraction from landfill leachate matrices. Introduction
Identification of some plasticizers compounds in landfill
As plasticizers are compounds of hard microbial decomposition, the common treatment applied to the landfill leachate is not able to eliminate them. In this way, plasticizers can persist in the environment and contaminate superficial and groundwater.

Emerging contaminants in landfill leachate and their
A typical landfill leachate has a BOD 5 ranging from 20 to 57,000 mg/L and a COD of 140 to 152,000 mg/L. Heavy metals including arsenic, chromium, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, lead, nickel and zinc are found in landfill leachate at varying concentrations.
Patricia SCHOSSLER | Research profile

- What compounds are found in landfill leachate?
- Landfill leachate contains a variety of compounds, including aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, chlorinated aliphatics, pesticides, and plastizers. Other compounds that may be found are: borate, sulfide, arsenate, selenate, barium, lithium, mercury, and cobalt.
- What compounds are common to all three landfills?
- Among the compounds common to all three landfills were plasticizers (phthalates, benzenesulfonamides), phosphate esters, substituted phenols, chlorinated phenols, phenolic antioxidants and siloxanes as well as the compounds formed during the degradation of organic wastes (dihydro-dioxin, pyrazines and several sulphur-containing odorous volatiles).
- How are leachates from Göteborg landfills characterised?
- Leachates from three municipal landfills in the Göteborg area of western Sweden were characterised in terms of their content of individual organic compounds. Two of the investigated landfills were still in use during the time of this study. The third landfill was closed down in the mid-seventies.
- Are dioxanes found in leachates?
- Dioxanes and dioxolans found in the leachates have not been previously reported. Compounds originated from previously disposed oil contaminated wastes dominate the leachate from an old closed landfill.
