Pervasiveness and classification of microplastics in Landfill Leachate: Impacts, risks, and treatment efficiency

Researchers assessed microplastic contamination from the Matuail landfill in Bangladesh, finding that leachate discharged approximately 350 million particles per hour into surrounding water. Surface water and groundwater near the landfill contained even higher microplastic concentrations than the leachate itself, with fibers and fragments of polyethylene and polypropylene dominating. The study found that the existing leachate treatment facility was inefficient at removing microplastics, posing high ecological risk to surrounding water sources.

Microplastics in Landfill Environments: Distribution, Characteristics, and Risks from Gampong Jawa, Indonesia

Researchers examined microplastic distribution across soil, leachate, river water, and well water surrounding a landfill in Gampong Jawa, Indonesia. They found alarmingly high concentrations in well water (up to 979 particles per liter) and soil (over 23,000 particles per kilogram), with fragments, fibers, and films being the most common types. The study demonstrates that landfills are significant sources of microplastic contamination that can spread to surrounding communities through water and soil pathways.

Risk assessment of microplastics contamination in soil and leachate from different ages of landfill

Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in soils and leachate collection ponds at a landfill site in Thailand, examining how the physical and chemical characteristics of microplastics — including abundance, morphology, size, and polymer type — evolve across landfill sections of different ages. The study found that microplastic properties change significantly with landfill age, highlighting landfills as important sources of environmental microplastic pollution with implications for leachate treatment.
