Heavy metals (HMs) are common components of landfill leachates and piggery wastewater, which correspond with possible applications of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). For this reason, the study of the fate and effect of HMs on the anammox process is of utmost importance. In this work, the effect of several HMs on the specific anammox activity (SAA) was studied. For this purpose, the ...

The Danish counties have performed numerous investigations of old landfills. These investigations have been presented in several reports, but no comprehensive summary of the findings has been carried out. The objective of this study was to evaluate the typical composition of leachates from old smaller landfills by a comprehensive review of the investigations carried out by the counties. In tota...

Abstract. Given the diverse physico-chemical properties of elements, we hypothesize that their incoherent distribution across leaf tissues, combined with distinct resistance to degradation each tissue exhibits, leads different turnover rates among elements. Moreover, litter layers varying ages produce chemical signatures in solution during wet degradation. To verify our hypothesis, Na, K, Mg, M...
