Résumé partiel
Recent decades have seen significant interest of solid waste and environmental impact resulting. The present study focused on monitoring the environmental impact resulting from solid waste in the dumpsite and ELGharbiya landfill in Sadat city. The study aims to determine the mineral components of the soil of dumpsite, and ELGharbiya landfill in Sadat city and measure the heavy metals in soil and groundwater samples in the study area ( Fe, Cu, Cd, Mn, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cr, Co). Also, measure the groundwater level in the study area and the direction of water flow and assess the resulting environmental impact of dumpsite and ELGharbiya landfill on the soil and groundwater. Sadat city is the first city of the new urban community is located on Cairo- Alexandria Desert Road at km.93.E Lies west of the Nile Delta and eastern side of the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road from kilo 85 to 109 between latitudes 30°18’57″&30°38′ 19″ N and longitude 30° 21′ 64″&30° 39′ 55″ E. Solid waste management is considered as specific problems in each country, region, and even locality. Population density, local tradition, the stage of development and the economic structure, together with such environmental factors as climate, availability of natural resources and topography are some of the contributing factors to the problem. The management has been applied with some mistakes where, the wastes randomly lied outside the cell and behind the bridge between the cells without covering or arrangement. The broken pipe of water in landfill leads to formation of swamps water, generation of flies and polluting the environment. The self-firing in the cells in the landfill indicate to the environmental regulations is not applied perfectly. The self-firing cased emission of harmful gases plus to heavy metals which precipitate on soil and leached to groundwater by rainfall
