Disease: groundwater contamination

Extended Environmental Multimedia Modeling System (EEMMS) with Analytic Hierarchy Process for Dual Evaluation of Energy Consumption and Pollutants in Solid Waste

This study examined how landfill leachate pollution spreads through groundwater toward Canadian territory. Scientists used computer models to track the movement of organic matter (BOD) over 20 years from the CFSWMA landfill. The findings showed that while some contamination reaches the Canadian border, concentrations decrease along the way. The research recommends installing barriers to block pollutants and proposes a balanced approach considering both environmental safety and energy efficiency in waste management.

Ecological indicators and biological resources for hydrocarbon rhizoremediation in a protected area

A gasoline pipeline spill contaminated a protected nature area in Italy, threatening rare fish species. Scientists tested whether plants and natural bacteria could clean up the pollution. They found that corn and sunflower plants, combined with bacteria from the soil, could remove about 70-80% of the petroleum pollution in just 38 days. The study showed this approach could successfully restore the protected area without expensive chemical treatments.
