Many of these are soluble in water and become dissolved in any surplus moisture in the landfill site to produce a liquid mixture termed leachate.
The leachate was separated from the solids by centrifugation, and the dissolved polonium isotopes in the liquid were plated spontaneously onto a silver planchet.
True, leachate can lead to many lesser health problems and environmental effects that the EPA did not assess.
The leachate was collected and then chemically converted to true saltpeter, potassium nitrate, by mixing it with a solution of potash.
It also provides a means of collecting most of that leakage and therefore is a second leachate collection system.
The treatment of leachate and the safe disposal or even use of landfill gas are components of an environmentally sound waste management policy.
