Evaluation of an old waste disposal site contamination, using electrical methods

A case of chemical pollution induced by an abandoned disposal site located on an alluvial plain has been investigated through geophysical prospection. The aim of the geophysical survey was the delimitation of the shape/dimension of the conductive contaminated plume, .which the landfill has been inducing. The plume goes down to a depth that ranges between lOm to 80 mand the resistivity of the contaminated sediments is approximately 50 ohm.m.
