Assessment of soil contamination by leachates from the municipal landfill in the district of San Pablo

The present investigation, it had as general aim evaluate the pollution of the soil affected for lixiviados of the municipal botadero of San Paul's District, by means of a descriptive investigation of type, in which they were analyzed to the metals weighed as Cadmium (CD), Lead (Pb), Chrome the VIth (Cr+6) and Total Chrome (Cr Total) in soil, in addition they are established in the D. S N ° 002-2013 MINAM, standards of Environmental Quality (ECA) for soil. The samples were obtained of the soil and later sent to the laboratory of soils of San's Martin National University. The investigation concludes that it was reached to evaluate the pollution of the soil affected for lixiviados of the municipal botadero of San Paul's District, realizing two samplings in different dates, they were sampled to the Cadmium (CD), Lead (Pb), Chrome the VIth (Cr+6) and Total Chrome (Cr Total), the sampling was realized in three different points of the municipal botadero (P1: Agricultural Soil, P2: central Soil of the botadero, P3: Soil of control or initial soil of the botadero), Likewise it was achieved to find the presence of the Cadmium, Lead and Total Chrome in three points of sampling with the exception of the Chrome the VIth. The comparison of the levels of concentration of the heavy metals evaluated with the Standards of Environmental Quality for soil - ECA allowed to establish that the levels of Cadmium (CD) in three sampled points overcome the values established by the ECA for an agricultural soil, with regard to the Lead (Pb) in three sampled points they do not overcome the values established by the ECA for an agricultural soil.
