Bioremediation of dumpsite leachates and heavy metals contaminated groundwater using locally sourced organic wastes as reactive media
This study examines the problems of dumpsites leachates and contamination of the surrounding groundwater sources in three States of the Southeast Nigeria, and possible ways of solving them. The leachates and groundwater were characterised from the study area and the samples showed heavy metals conce...
