Distribuição de Macronutrientes, pH e Matéria orgânica na área de um aterro desativado em Indianópolis - MG

Abstract

Disused landfills are areas that were used to dispose of solid waste, but are no longer in operation. After the end of activities, changes occur in the soil, due to the decomposition of the organic matter present and other factors such as the presence of contaminants. Therefore, the main objective of this research project is to analyze the distribution of macronutrients, pH and organic matter in the area of ​​a deactivated landfill in Indianópolis – MG. The study seeks to understand the changes that occur in the soil after the closure of landfill activities and analyze how these changes can impact the surrounding environment; that is, if it presents significant changes compared to areas not impacted by landfills. Because the proper management of deactivated landfill areas is extremely important for the preservation of the environment and public health. Understanding the changes that occur in the soil of these areas after the closure of landfill activities is essential to assist in making decisions related to the recovery and rehabilitation of these sites. Furthermore, the research may provide support for environmental monitoring and assist in the development of appropriate management strategies. Therefore, it is essential to understand how macronutrients, pH and organic matter are distributed in this area, in order to assess possible risks and contribute to the adequate environmental management of these locations. To do this, soil samples will be collected at different points in the landfill area, which will be analyzed in the laboratory. The expected results will contribute to knowledge about soil quality in deactivated landfill areas, as well as present suggestions for future studies and appropriate management and environmental recovery measures will also be discussed.
