The tools of such activities applied in the United States and Great Britain can be found on the internet websites www.nap.edu and some publications on the website of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (www.cpa.gov) arc available free of charge. The selection of the applied algorithms, parameters and scale of grades depends on the available data or the possibilities of obtaining them, which is practically impossible for most landfills in Poland. To estimate the risk and classify the objects requiring repairing measures, a mathematical formula has been created for Poland. To define the nuisance made by landfills for the environment two parameters were introduced: -parameter ofwaste accumulation UN, defined as the ratio ofthe synthetic environmental risk index (R) to the amount of deposited wastes, -parameter of the neutralization ofwastes U u, defined as the ratio of the synthetic environmental risk index (R) to the number of residents sending wastes to the landfill.}, title={The assessment of environmental risk on the areas degraded by the landfills}, type={Article}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/133792/PDF/10_GSM_22_4_2006_Mikolajczak_Assessment.pdf}, keywords={Neutralization ofwastes, landfills, impact of landfills, mathematical models, environmental risk assessment}, }
