Abstract

Recycling, neutralization and storage of solid household waste is an urgent problem due to the constant growth of their accumulation. When they are stored outdoors, as the result of mechanical, chemical and biological weathering, chemical elements become mobile and migrate to surrounding areas, creating soil, hydrochemical and biological anomalies. Some of the elements form secondary minerals (salts, oxides-hydroxides, chlorides, phosphates) or are part of the organic component of landfill soil. In the young soils (2 years old), accumulate high values of total carbon, humus, N, and H. The number of microbial cells in them is less than in the old ones (20 years old), but their diversity is greater. In young landfill soils, high concentrations of most chemical elements (Zc = 74) recorded in comparison with the settled soils (Zc = 32). The degree of weathering of 20-year-old soils is 10–100 times greater compared to young landfill soils. Most of elements accumulate in the soil filtrate of young sediments (from 2 to 15 times) compared to the settled soils.
