Abstract

Various forms of organic and inorganic pollutants have been released into the ecosystem, affecting the fauna, the flora and human beings. The carcinogenic and mutagenic effects of these pollutants have been documented (Förstner and Wittmann 1981; Gupta et al. 1988; Ellis and Knezek 1972). In order to prevent environmental contamination due to leachates originated from domestic and industrial wastes or sewage sludge, clay barriers for protection against potential pollutants are considered in landfill projects (Wu and Li 1998; Shachelford 1991; Roy et al. 1991; CETESB 1985; Knox and Jones 1979).
