Factors of environmental condition of territories adjoined to municipal solid wastes landfills

Abstract

In the represented work, the factors affecting the territories adjoined to the landfills of municipal solid waste under the influence of an environmentally hazardous man-made object are analyzed. The analysis revealed that the environmental condition of such territories is affected by the risk factors that are introduced as a result of emergencies occurring at landfills of municipal solid waste, in particular, fires. Indexes and indicators used in the practice of assessing the negative impact on the environmental condition of territories are analyzed. The analysis found that the environmental assessment of areas adjoined to hazardous man-made objects should be made taking into account complex multifactorial environmental impacts, in particular those due to emergencies at landfill sites.
