Chemical composition and toxicity of waste dump leachates using Selenastrum capricornutum printz (chlorococcales, chlorophyta)
Chemical composition and toxicity of leachates from a municipal waste dump in Buenos Aires Province were analyzed. Three sets of samples, obtained in 1996 and 1997, were compared. Levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organics (expressed as COD) were distinctly lower in 1997. Such differences were mai...
