Toxic Landfill Runoff

Water pollution causes the introduction of a very wide variety of toxic chemicals to those drinking, cooking, and bathing with impure water. There are numerous sources of pollutants that end up in potable water, and the mixtures produced by many of these pollutants result in unexpected toxic effects in people who consume such water. Mixtures of lipophilic and hydrophilic chemicals have been demonstrated to be causative for many of these unanticipated toxic effects. [Pg.115]

The WFD, so far, has identified 33 priority hazardous pollutants (PHS), for which Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) have been set. To some extent, these EQS can be met through the establishment of emission control measures. These PHS may originate from several different sources and activities. The main sources of toxic substances to water bodies in Europe may be categorised as agriculture, sewage treatment plants, urban runoff, industry, contaminated lake/ river sediment, soils and landfills. Input via atmospheric transport and deposition has also been identified as an important source both far from and close to source areas. Many of the PS are today banned in Europe, but due to their persistence they are still present in the environment [30]. [Pg.400]
