Changes in the Number of Volatile Components in the Soil Under the Influence of Household Waste

waste, where solid waste is dumped, stored and partially disposed.
Storage and disposal of household waste (mainly by burning) can
negatively impact the structure, productivity indicators, and the
agroecological state of the soil cover common around the landfill.
Such high levels of heavy metals and metalloids in household waste
ash, in turn, lead to soil contamination around the landfill. The reason
is that the process of incineration and open storage of waste has a
very negative impact on the environment. It should be noted that the
level of heavy metal contamination of the soil around the domestic
landfill is low. However, failure to fully comply with the measures
for storage and disposal of waste can lead to contamination of soils
around the landfill with heavy metals since the content of heavy
metals in ashes is very high. Soil pollution with household waste
affects all processes occurring in it and has a detrimental effect on the
activity of living organisms living in the soil. In particular, soil
pollution with household waste changes the amount of organic
volatile compounds in the organic part of the soil. Studies have shown
that benzofuran organic volatile compounds not found in background
soils can be found in soils around municipal waste when exposed to
pollution. Some compounds, such as carbonic acid-10.99% and di-ndesylsulfone-0.47%, which are noted in the background soils, were
not found in soil sample No. 1 taken at the landfill. These compounds
are removed from the soil as a result of waste incineration and other
processes.
