Despite its benefits, landfarming has limitations and potential risks:
1. Site-Specific: Not all sites are suitable for landfarming due to soil type, climate, and other factors. 2. Time-Consuming: Degradation can take months to years, depending on contaminant levels and environmental conditions. 3. Potential for Contaminant Migration: Risk of contaminants leaching into groundwater or being carried away by wind or water. 4. Incomplete Degradation: Some contaminants may not be fully degraded, leading to the formation of potentially toxic by-products.
