Short- and Medium-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins in fish, water and soils from the Iqaluit, Nunavut (Canada), area
Concentrations and sources of short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (CP) were examined in the city of Iqaluit, Nunavut. Tissues from the Arctic char and the ninespine stickleback were analysed, as were terrestrial sediments near landfills. Water and sediments from local streams were tested along with water draining from the sewage lagoon and sediments near the lagoon's outlet. Significant ...

The impact of an open waste disposal site on soil and groundwater pollution
A study has been carried out of a waste disposal site, located in the valley of a small creek, 3 km south of Canakkale city centre. The surface area of the site was around 101000 square metres, and the total amount of waste deposited at the site since 1990 was approximately 1001000 tons. The major risks of the dump are its closeness to the university campus area to the south, the airport to the ...

Sensitivity of groundwater flow with respect to the drain–aquifer leakage coefficient
Mitigation measures may be used to prevent soil and water pollution from waste disposal, landfill sites, septic or chemical storage tanks. Among them, drains and impervious barriers may be set up. The efficiency of this technique can be evaluated by means of groundwater modeling tools. The groundwater flow and the leakage drain–aquifer interactions are implemented in a conforming finite ...
