42°17’8303″N 77°51’3727″E Landfills are one of the significant factors of pollution that negatively impact natural components: the atmosphere, water sources, soil, and plant and animal life. By being placed directly on the soil surface, landfills remove a significant portion of land from agricultural use and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them. When waste placed in unauthorized landfills catches fire, toxic and harmful substances are released into the atmosphere. Atmospheric
