Best Answer

The leachate from a landfill contains numerous liquid pollutants suc as acids, organics, dissolved metals and high BOD material. It can leave the landfill and comtaminate groundwater and surface water.

NOTE: Leachate is material that dissolves out of a solid mass, like tea out of a tea bag, when water flows through it.
