Environmental Issues in One of the Greatest Landfills in Se Europe : Environmental issues of the JakuSevec landfill, greatest in Croatia, before, during and after remediation activities

In 2012 human population exceeded 7 billion, and by the end of this century it will exceed 10 billion, and it should be treated as significant geophysical impact factor. Consequently such population produces a bulk of waste which became a global problem. This book encircle author's experience in environmental monitoring performed during remediation of one of the greatest landfills in Southeastern Europe formed in less than fifty years by population that counts less than million.
