How Do Landfill Liners Prevent Toxic Leachate Migration?
The primary function of landfill liners is to act as a barrier to leachate. They prevent the infiltration of rainwater and other external fluids, thereby reducing the amount of leachate generated. Additionally, liners are designed to withstand chemical degradation and physical damage over time, ensuring long-term containment of toxic substances. The use of geotextiles and other protective layers can further enhance liner integrity.
