Landfill leachate samples were characterized immediately right
after the samples arrived in the laboratory. The pH, COD, color, total
solids (TS), TSS and turbidity were analyzed according to the
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater
(APHA, AWWA and WEF, 2005). The results obtained from the
characterization studies are presented in Table 1 (MDC, 2006).
