Abstract
In order to confirm the landfills as potential sources of microplastics and bisphenol A (BPA), the investigation of microplastics occurrence and concentration levels of BPA in landfill leachate samples from three landfills sites in the South East Europe was conducted. The landfills have been selected depending on the different waste management practice, waste amounts, operating period as well as leachate management practice. Microplastic was detected in different sizes, shapes and colours in all analysed leachate samples. The obtained average concentration values of the microplastics particles in the leachate samples from all three landfills ranged from 0.64 to 2.16 mg L−1. The BPA was detected in leachate samples from all landfill sites in average concentration levels from 0.70 to 2.72 mg L−1 which are related to the content of microplastics. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
