Skládky odpadu jako možné zdroje kontaminace životního prostředí

Abstract

The bachelor thesis is focused on waste dumps, which can be a possible source of environmental contamination. There are described types of waste, their brief characteristics and how to handle them. Attention is also paid to the description of the pollutants contained in the wastes. Persistent organic compounds are characterized, especially in terms of their behavior in the individual components of the environment and their impacts on it. However, the greatest attention is paid to polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins. The issue of these pollutants, which have a negative impact on the environment and human health, is dealt with by important international conventions aimed at taking a strategic plan to address them.
