Investigating the Impact of Hamedan Landfill on Groundwater and Soil

Landfill sites are one of the most important sources of contaminant entry to the environment. In this research, the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, and organic compound BPA in Hamadan landfill were evaluated to determine the status of its burial environment in 2014. Seven water samples (2 samples from spring and 5 samples from well), 2 leachate samples and 15 soil samples were collected from Hamadan landfill. Evaluation of the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd and the organic compound BPA was done by atomic absorption and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The concentrations of metals (Cu, Pb, Ni and Cd) in water samples (wells and springs) Pb
