A geophysical and hydro physico-chemical study of the contaminant impact of a solid waste landfill (swl) in King Williams’ Town, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Open Geosciences, 2019
Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) surveys and physico-chemical analysis were carried out on a solid waste landfill (SWL) in Eastern Cape, South Africa to assess the impact of leachate pollution on groundwater quality.

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...

Microplastic pollution from active and inactive landfill in Indonesia: Case study in Leuwigajah and Sarimukti Landfill [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
A landfill is the most common waste disposal in Indonesia, yet the implementation and operation of landfills are still far from optimal due to lack of funding and management failure. Moreover, landfill was operated as unmanaged open dumps. This situation

Waste Management Policies, Practices, and Public Health Outcomes in Developing Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Unsanitary waste practices in developing countries increase disease risks by 2.1–3.1 times. This review demonstrates that integrating waste pickers, enforcing policies, and investing in circular systems can reduce health burdens by 30–50%, offering a clear path toward sustainable urban health.

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Nitrogen Converters in Various Landfill Leachates

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2018
Nitrogen has significant adverse effects on the environment and leads to operational failure in biological treatment units. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and implement new nitrogen conversion pathways in order to expand alternatives for in-situ/ex-situ leachate treatment systems.

A Deep Learning‐Enhanced Ensemble Smoother for Non‐Gaussian Hydrological Data Assimilation Without Relying on Innovation Vectors

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Data assimilation (DA) plays a critical role in reducing simulation uncertainty in hydrological systems by leveraging available observations to estimate model states and/or parameters. Among DA methods, the ensemble smoother (ES) has emerged as an attractive option for parameter estimation due to its computational efficiency and ...

Agronomic and Environmental Benefits of Recovered Gypsum for Sulfur Fertilization in Camelina for Biofuel Production

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Camelina sativa, a low‐input oilseed for biofuel production, was evaluated under different sulfur fertilization strategies using recycled gypsum as a S‐source. Adding a moderate sulfur supply (40 kg ha−1) to regular nitrogen fertilization increased crop productivity and reduced environmental impacts, including emissions associated with iLUC, supporting
