Investigating physicochemical characterization and metal(oid)s of landfill leachate in Bushehr port

This study focused on the investigation of physicochemical characterization and metal(oid)s in landfill leachate of Bushehr port along the Persian Gulf. TDS, BOD۵, COD, Hg, and Cd concentrations in fresh leachate were above leachate discharge standards. The physicochemical and metal(oid)s contents of leachate were affected by rainfall and temperature. Furthermore, the high leachate pollution index (LPI) value showed a significant amount of pollutants present in the landfill leachate. The results of this study help in understanding the pollution potential of landfill leachate of Bushehr port along the Persian Gulf. Thus, decision-makers should manage landfill leachate to reduce further environmental pollution.
