The toxicity of leachates from two municipal solid waste landfills (Caserta, Southern Italy) was characterized using Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE). All the samples exhibited acute toxicity towards the freshwater cladoceran crustacean Daphnia magna, the test organism recommended by Italian regulations. Results show that toxicity is especially due to cations chelated by EDTA, basic chemicals and apolar compounds retained by solid phase extraction as well as total suspended solids.

Abstract

The toxicity of leachates from two municipal solid waste landfills (Caserta, Southern Italy) was characterized using Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE). All the samples exhibited acute toxicity towards the freshwater cladoceran crustacean Daphnia magna, the test organism recommended by Italian regulations. Results show that toxicity is especially due to cations chelated by EDTA, basic chemicals and apolar compounds retained by solid phase extraction as well as total suspended solids.
