Fingerprinting Of Water Contamination From Landfill Leachate Using 2H, 13C And 18O

This study presents the use of stable isotopes (2H, 18O and 13C) for the determination of δ2H–H2O, δ18O–H2O and δ13C–Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (δ13C–DIC) as a method to investigate leachate contamination in water bodies. The technique involves the collection of water samples from a municipal solid...
