Occurrence and alteration of organic contaminants in seepage and leakage water from a waste deposit landfill

摘要

Organic-geochemical analysis have been applied to seepage water and leakage water samples of a waste deposit landfill in order to give a comprehensive view on the composition of he organic contaminants. Based on intense GC/MS screening analyses a wide variety of organic substances were identified and attributed to natural or xenobiotic Waste components. Apart from plant material-derived compounds and degradation products of peptides, carbohydrates and lignin, Numerous xenobiotic substances were identified and attributed to the groups of pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, pesticides Or chlorinated aromatics.
