Ensaios geofísicos no aterro sanitário de Cuiabá-MT

This work aims to study a possible contamination caused by the Cuiabá Landfill, Mato Grosso, Brazil, through electromagnetic inductive method and Ground Penetrating Radar survey. The first waste disposal cell and the leachate treatment lagoons had been never impermeabilized, being potential sources of subsoil contamination. The results suggest that the entire landfill was contaminating the subsoil, including the impermeabilized area.
