    Solid waste disposal in the U.S. has led to environmental effects and waste migration impacting health. Applying current science and engineering principles can significantly improve containment in disposal facilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Waste Management
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Documented environmental effects from solid waste disposal in the U.S. are reviewed.
    • Case histories illustrate waste migration and its health impacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review environmental effects of solid waste disposal.
    • To highlight waste migration and health concerns.
    • To assess improvements in disposal facility containment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of documented environmental effects.
    • Analysis of selected case histories of waste disposal.

    Main Results:

    • Solid waste materials migrate beyond disposal sites.
