Abstract Landfill leachate is a complex mix of organics, inorganics and heavy metals produced from conventional and engineering landfilling practices. The adverse effects of landfill leachate on human and environmental health have forced the relevant authorities to stipulate stringent disposal requirements, producing the need for ground-breaking technological solutions for effective management of landfill leachate. The researchers and field engineers are still looking for robust options for leachate management. This timely book on landfill leachate management is a valued addition to this area of research.
