There is no problem when toxics accumulate in properly designed landfills. They are contained there and do not impact the environment. When the materials escape there is a problem.
This can be prevented by:
- Not allowing the materials to be landfilled by seeking alternate destructive disposal
- Ensuring frequent checks of the landfill's integrity
- Binding the materials into amatrix which they cannot be moved from

What happens to plants during the process of phytoremediation?
Plants in phytoremediation absorb contaminants from the soil or water through their roots. They either accumulate the contaminants in their tissues or break them down into less harmful substances through various biological processes. This helps to clean up polluted environments and improve soil or water quality.
What happens when a chemicals leak into a cell?
the cell usually dies because the chemicals destory the cell.

What happens when metal glass and plastic are dumped into landfills?
Metals will react according to their type and chemical composition of the soil. Iron may rust away altogether eventually, turning into nothing more than a red stain in the ground. Most other will oxidize slower and hang around longer. Glass will just stay there for pretty much forever. Plastic will decay over time, but we don't know as yet how long it will endure buried.
What happens if all chemicals where removed from tomato sauce?
It wouldn't taste nice
What happens when poisonous chemicals accumulate in landfills?
The seep into the ground (polluting aquifers that we use for drinking water) and to the surface and cause widespread environmental damage (harm to life on Earth).
What happens when poisonous chemicals accumaate in landfills?
When poisonous chemicals accumulate in landfills, they have the potential to leach into the soil and groundwater, contaminating the surrounding environment. This can harm local ecosystems, pollute water sources, and pose health risks to nearby communities. Proper waste management practices, such as containment systems and monitoring, are essential to mitigate these risks.
What happens to household refuse?
It gets thrown into the landfills which pollutes the earth.
What happens if you mix good chemicals with bad chemicals?
you die
How does landfills affect humans?
Well, for starters, they are making people who live anywhere around them sick, and they also create these chemicals that seep into the ground and can contaminate the ground water. they of course are attracting varmints and other creatures that scavenge on the rotting trash, and produce methane gas (there are ways to solve that, which a lot of people of working on that now, powering buildings, plants, etc.) And they probably aren't to great for the local animals. Hope that helped. Joy L. P.
What happens to material that can't be recycled?
Often the materials will end up in landfills or into the water system into the ocean.
What happens when chemicals are combined?
Depends on the chemicals, you get a different reaction from different ones.
What happens to plants during the process of phytoremediation?
Plants in phytoremediation absorb contaminants from the soil or water through their roots. They either accumulate the contaminants in their tissues or break them down into less harmful substances through various biological processes. This helps to clean up polluted environments and improve soil or water quality.
What happens to raspberries and the chemicals?
Raspberries often get eaten. Chemicals may be used or misused.
What happens when a chemicals leak into a cell?
the cell usually dies because the chemicals destory the cell.
What happens to tin when it is thrown away?
Tin can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill, contributing to environmental pollution and potential harm to wildlife. It may also release toxic chemicals into the soil and water, impacting the surrounding ecosystem. Recycling tin helps conserve natural resources and reduces waste in landfills.
What happens to the earth if you dont start recycling?
Resources gets used up faster and the risk of environmental damage from big landfills increase.
