Abstract
Uncontrolled landfill sites are one of the main sources of underground and surface water contamination. The absence of monitoring leads to the leakage of leachates into the environment, thereby severely contaminating the aquifers of the area. That is what happened in Sardas landfill located close to Sabiñanigo (Huesca, Spain). It is an old uncontrolled landfill that has been dumping huge quantities of urban, agriculture and industrial wastes since the 70s. Among all the waste residues in Sardas, the most toxic are the leachates of chloro-alkyl industry and the organochlorides generated by the pesticides industry. Inquinosa produced lindane from 1975 to 1988 and formulated lindane products until 1992.
The disposal of waste generated a flooded area of DNAPL (Dense NonAqueous Phase Liquids) above the impermeable marl layer, composed by a mixture of HCHs, Chlorobenzenes, BTEX and other chlorinated compounds, which spread downstream the dump, imply a great threat for soil, surface water and groundwater quality, as for human health and ecosystems
