Summary
This entry is not a research paper; it appears to be an index page from a book on landfill leachate management, with no original research content on microplastics.
Landfill leachate is a complex mix of organics, inorganics and heavy metals produced from conventional and engineering landfilling practices. The adverse effects of landfill leachate on human and environmental health have forced the relevant authorities to stipulate stringent disposal requirements, producing the need for ground-breaking technological solutions for effective management of landfill leachate. The researchers and field engineers are still looking for robust options for leachate management. This timely book on landfill leachate management is a valued addition to this area of research.

Microplastics in landfill leachate: Sources, abundance, characteristics, remediation approaches and future perspective
This review examines the sources, abundance, and characteristics of microplastics found in landfill leachate, a difficult-to-treat waste liquid that can carry pollutants into the environment. The authors highlight the urgent need for standardized microplastic analysis methods and more research into cost-effective approaches for removing microplastics from leachate before it reaches waterways.
Sources, health risks, environmental implications, and management strategies of microplastics with a focus on landfill leachate
This review examines microplastics in landfill leachate as a significant but underappreciated source of environmental contamination, covering detection methods, particle characteristics (type, size, color, shape), and the health and environmental risks of landfill leachate that enters groundwater and surface water.
Microplastics in landfill leachate - characteristics and common methods of identification
This review characterized microplastics in landfill leachate, covering their physical and chemical properties and the common analytical methods used for identification. Around 40% of global plastic waste ends up in landfills, making leachate a significant but understudied pathway for microplastic release into groundwater and surrounding environments.
Microplastics in landfill and leachate: Occurrence, environmental behavior and removal strategies
This review examines how microplastics form and accumulate in landfills and their leachate, which is the liquid that drains from waste sites. Researchers found that landfill leachate is an overlooked source of microplastic pollution that can carry toxic substances and antibiotic resistance genes into the surrounding environment. The study evaluates current removal strategies and calls for better treatment systems to prevent microplastic contamination from waste disposal sites.
Landfill Leachate: Review of various treatment approaches
This paper is not about microplastics; it reviews physical, chemical, and biological treatment approaches for landfill leachate management in developing countries.
