Abstract
The results of hydrochemical research of leachate sample from the Landfill No 5 for the municipal solid waste disposal are highlighted. It is located in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, approximately 11 km south of the residential and industrial development in the southern part of Kyiv City. Results are confirmed extraordinarily high toxicness of the leachate. The sample has high values of dry residue, total alkalinity, and the contents of chlorides, nitrates, and magnesium compounds. The content of chlorides exceeds the maximum allowable concentrations for surface waters more than 17 times, nitrates – more than 3 times, Mg2+ compounds – almost 2 times, dry residue – more than 21 times. Since the leachate is vastly wastewater with a high content of organic pollutants.
