Abstract

The waste management problem is an issue of global interest associated with high costs due to the degree of
hazard that they have on the environmental factors and on human health. The present paper aims to evaluate
the impact generated by non-ecological waste landfills on surface waters, compared with the impact of
ecological hazardous waste landfills on surface waters. The study was possible due to the location of the two
landfills, situated near the same watercourse. The water samples taken and analyzed show the extent of the
impact of non-ecological waste landfills, compared with the impact generated by the ecological hazardous
waste landfills on surface waters, located downstream from the household waste landfill. Therefore, the
objective of this study is to emphases the impact brought upon the surface watercourses by waste landfills in
the municipality of Cluj-Napoca.
