Comparing roles of multiple contamination indicators in tracing groundwater pollution nearby a typical municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill.

ABSTRACT: Groundwater pollution resulting from leachate leakage at landfill sites has garnered significant attention. Investigating the migration of pollutants from these landfills to adjacent groundwater is crucial for understanding the diffusion patterns and extent of contamination. It is imperative to develop cost-effective yet highly efficient tracer techniques to aid landfill operators in monitoring groundwater contamination stemming from their operations. The primary objective of this research was to compare the roles of conservative tracers sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl^-), and conventional pollutants permanganate oxidation (COD_Mn), ammonium nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) in assessing pollution levels from municipal solid was
