PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OF BASE LINER OF SANITARY LANDFILLS IN PULAU BURUNG

DescriptionThe study investigates the physical and chemical characteristics of the baseLiner material, including its permeability, porosity, ph levels, and organic content and concentrations of heavy metals. These parameters are pixelated in.Determining the liner's efficiency in preventing leachate migration and safeguarding environmental health.The microbial communities within the baseliner are analyzed to uncover their diversity, structure, and ecological roles. These microorganisms play a crucial role in the degradation of organic matter, and the stabilization of contaminants directly influences the landfill's environmental footprint.GOALThe research evaluates key environmental indicators, such as soil and groundwater quality, to assess the baseliner's performance in containing pollutants and their broader ecological impact on surrounding ecosystems.RelevanceThis study provides global data that can inform tailored landfill management strategies. Further, it contributes to the global discourse.On sustainable landfill practices, particularly in tropical climates whereUnique environmental conditions occur. reflects the importance of a holistic approach to landfill management, integrating material science, microbial ecology, and environmental monitoring.
