Safety Property

Municipal solid waste management in India is becoming important in view of the fact thatincreasing amount of solid waste generated in most cities is now being recognized as a major publichealth problem. Poor management of solid waste leads to problems, which transcend traditionalenvironmental boundaries and contribute to air, waters and soil pollution,The percentage of India's population living in cities and urban areas has doubled to 28.8% by 200 Ifrom 14% at the time of Independence, showing the rapid pace of urbanization. The progressivelyimproved standards of living and the wasteful consumer attitudes have resulted in increase ofquantities of municipal wastes to be handled.The present system of solid waste management in India, like any other developing country, isfraught with many inadequacies. Illegal dumping is a major problem that raises significant concernswith regard to safety, property values, and quality of life in our communities. Poor collection ordisposal practices are the problem. Since most cities in India still lack properly engineered landfillsfor safe disposal, waste here is mostly disposed in open dumps, which causes major environmentalhavoc.Apart from other environmental hazards from open dumping of municipal solid waste, one of themajor problems that rise are the uncontrolled emissions of VOCs or Volatile organic Compounds.VOCs are well known to be hazardous to human health and are potent carcinogens,The present paper deals with qualitative and quantitative identification of VOCs from a twomunicipal waste dump site in Mumbai. Air at dump sites was sampled and analyzed on GC/MS inaccordance with USEPA TO-17 compendium method for analysis of toxic compounds. As many as20 VOCs were qualitatively identified and some VOC's were quantified, Concentration of Benzenewas observed in the order of 0.6ppm, Some of the VOCs identified were Hazardous Air Pollutantsaccording to USEPA clean air act amendment of 1990,

Adverse Impacts

The present investigation discusses the characteristic of leachate generated from municipal solid waste landfill and it adverse impacts on downstream water quality. Landfill leachate was collected from a hole dug 10 m away from the waste dump site and the appearance of the leachate sample looks black. Three downstream water samples were collected at 10 meters intervals each from each other and less than 100 meters from the boundary of the dumpsite. All the samples were examined for temperature, pH, TDS, TSS, BOD, COD, nitrate, ammonia, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Cl, total phosphate, sulfate, EC, DO and turbidity. The aim was to compare physicochemical and heavy metal properties of leachate and downstream water quality with internationally accepted protocols. The Laboratory analysis exhibited prevalence of high value of pH (8.5130.09), temperature(29.00.0), turbidity (14.00.41NTU), DO (0.1670.05 mg/l), COD (68.00.33 mg/l), BOD5 (324.03.00 mg/l), EC (446315.53s/cm), Total phosphate (62.3580.01 mg/l), Pb (0.310.00 mg/l), Cd (0.060.00 mg/l), Ni (0.3550.01 mg/l), and Cu (8.670.04 mg/l) in the leachate sample, which have exceeded their permissible limits. For downstream water samples, pH (7.760.07 to 7.5070.09), temperature (29.00.00) for the three sampling points, DO (3.6670.15 to 3.2330.12 mg/l), total phosphate (8.2250.00 to 7.9350.02 mg/l), Pb (0.4650.01 to 0.0910.00 mg/l), Cd (0.040.00 to 0.0230.00 mg/l), Ni and Cu (0.0430.06 mg/l) and (1.0620.00 mg/l) respectively, also exceeded their respective permissible limit recommended by Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality, World Health Organization in drinking water quality. From this study, there is evidence that there is an increase in risk to surface water that is reported near Uyo village road municipal solid waste dumping site. Therefore, the concerned authority should take appropriate intervention measures to protect surface water. Also, knowledge of leachate quality will be useful in planning and providing remedial measures to protect downstream water quality in the area.

Abstract Over exploitation and pollution of groundwater resources is considered to one of the major pollution problems these days. Even pollution of air, surface water or land may have a significant effect on pollution and contamination of ground water. Industries, human activities, agriculture, etc generate waste in various forms like solid, liquid and gas. If all this waste is not treated properly, it shall result polluting the environment and further affecting the quality of ground water due to its hydraulic connectivity with the hydrological cycle. In addition, leachate resulting from municipal or industrial solid waste dump site as well agricultural run-off also leads to ground water pollution. It has been estimated that around 45 million people globally are affected by water pollution resulting from excess iron, fluoride, arsenic, or sea water intrusion. The current study deals with physico-chemical analysis of ground water samples and suitability determination of water by using water quality index and Piper diagram for solid waste dump site near Pune. Water samples were collected from open wells as well as bore wells for pre-monsoon and post monsoon season and results were evaluated using residual sodium carbonate, sodium hazard, sodium adsorption ratio, and piper diagram. It can be inferred that, Ca-Cl type of water predominates the study area for both pre-monsoon as well as post-monsoon season.
