Summary:For thousands of years, soil has been the repository of society's wastes. The excavation of middens, which has provided archaeologists with valuable information on the daily life of past civilizations, has shown that land disposal has been carried out since antiquity. In recent years, however, the rapid increase in the disposal of municipal and industrial wastes in landfill sites, and the application both of leachates from these landfill sites and of sewage sludge to land, is causing much concern about environmental pollution.
