THE EFFECTS OF CHLORINATION ON LANDFILL LEACHATE

This book deals with quantification of bacterial pathogens from three landfills in Malaysia. The emphasis was to validate whether leachate contains pathogens against the common notion related to non-pathogenic potential of leachate. The use of chlorine was looked upon as a means of inactivation of bacterial pathogens and the effect of chlorine dosage, and contact time was studied on the inactivation pattern and formation of chlorination by products.
