Such studies were carried out 3 years ago and now the Aarhus Center intends to study the existing changes and possible consequences. During the research, samples of soil, surface and waste water around the landfills were taken to analyze heavy metals and harmful substances that have an impact on human health and the environment. The received materials will be examined in the laboratory of the Department of Environmental Monitoring, based on the results of which recommendations will be prepared for action by the relevant authorities.
