This book reviews of recent findings on the mitigation of gas emission from landfills and sludge processing. It covers methane and the migration of POPs, heavy metal ions, ammonia and nitrate from landfills to the water-soil system and to the atmosphere. It also discusses strategies for mitigating the impact of pollution on ecosystems. The book contains a selection of papers presented at an International Workshop on Management of Pollutant Emission from Landfills and Sludge, Kazimierz Dolny, Poland. Topics include mitigation of gas emission from landfills, pathway of POPs in waste, wastewater and landfill leachate, and migration of heavy metals from waste disposal sites and sewage sludge.
