Phytotoxicity of leachate from closed sanitary landfill on Mung Bean Seed (Vigna radiata) / Shantakumari Rajan ... [et al.]

Decomposing waste at landfills will produce a highly polluted liquid called leachate which can pose a great risk to the environment and potentially be the source of soil, groundwater and water pollution. Therefore, in order to prevent the continual toxicity of landfill leachate, toxicity assessment...

In this study, leachate was characterized in addition to phytotoxicity assessment using Vigna radiata seeds as an indicator.
