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.
