VELASCO RIVERA, Aurora e MINOTA ZEA, Yudy Marlevis. ASSESSMENT BY SOIL POLLUTION BORDERING BURIAL GROUNDS JARDINES DEL RECUERDO AND INMACULADA. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.1, pp.165-175. ISSN 0124-8170.
ABSTRACT Burial grounds are disposal sites for human bodies and a source of pollution due to leachate generated by decomposition of corpses. That material contains hazardous substances, such as putrescine and cadaverine, pathogens, heavy metals, radioactive isotopes and dioxins, which can pass through the soil and reach groundwater. Since there is very little information on this subject, our task was taking soil samples at cemeteries Jardines del Recuerdo and Inmaculada and surrounding areas in Bogota to determine its pH, salinity and ammonium and nitrates contents in order to analyze previously the impact of leachate on pollution of soil.
