Although several countries have been introducing more stringent laws to reduce the amount of waste to be landfilled, in an attempt to maximize recycling and materials recovery, landfilling is still the most generalized practice for municipal solid waste treatment. In this book, the authors discuss waste management in landfills, regional practices and its environmental impact. Topics include the reduction of environmental impact of municipal landfill leachate during oxidative treatment; polymers recycling; management of electronic waste in the Basque Country; and toxicity of landfills by plant cytogenetic and mutagenic effects.
