| environ. | domestic waste landfill | hushållsavfallsdeponi |
| environ. | domestic waste landfill Site for the disposal of wastes arising from domestic activities | hushållsavfallsdeponi |
| environ. | landfill area | upplagsområde |
| environ. | landfill base sealing | försegling av underlag till avfallsupplag |
| environ. | landfill base sealing Sealing of a landfill with a relatively impermeable barrier designed to keep leachate inside. Liner materials include plastic and dense clay | försegling av underlag till avfallsupplag |
| environ. | landfill capping | topptätning |
| environ. | landfill covering | täckning av avfallsupplag |
| environ. | landfill covering The protective shielding, consisting of soil or some other material, that encloses disposal sites for compacted, non-hazardous solid waste, or secures disposal sites for hazardous waste to minimize the chance of releasing hazardous substances into the environment | täckning av avfallsupplag |
| environ. | landfill degasification | degasifiering av avfallsupplag |
| environ. | landfill degasification Landfill gas is highly dangerous as methane is highly explosive; therefore it must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether by active or passive ventilation or both especially in the case of deep sites. There exist venting systems for shallow and deep sites respectively | degasifiering av avfallsupplag |
| environ., energ.ind. | landfill gas | deponigas |
| environ. | landfill gas Landfill gas is generated in landfill sites by the anaerobic decomposition of domestic refuse (municipal solid waste). It consists of a mixture of gases and is colourless with an offensive odour due to the traces of organosulphur compounds. Aside for its unpleasantness, it is highly dangerous as methane is explosive in concentrations in air between 5 per cent, the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) of 15 per cent. Landfill gas must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether actively or passively vented or both especially in the case of deep sites | deponigas |
| environ. | landfill leachate | lakvatten |
| environ. | landfill leachate Liquid that has seeped through solid waste in a landfill and has extracted soluble dissolved or suspended materials in the process | pressvatten i avfallsupplag |
| gen. | landfill leachate | pressvatten i avfallsupplag |

| environ. | old landfill site Landfill that has been filled and covered with topsoil and seeded. The most common end use for landfills is open spaces with no active recreation taking place over the completed landfill. The obvious reason for this use is that the completed surface is steeply sloped to provide rapid runoff. Also, no irrigation of the cover grasses should be allowed. It is very unlikely to think that commercial or industrial buildings will be constructed on a completed landfill. If the end use is such that the public will be walking on the site, it is important that all manholes be properly secured, leachate lagoons fenced, and other potential hazards eliminated | gammalt deponi |
| environ. | old landfill site | gammal avlagring |
| gen. | old landfill site | gammalt deponi |
| environ. | sanitary landfill | sanitär deponering |
| environ. | sanitary landfill | område för avloppsfiltration eller avloppsvattning |
| environ. | sanitary landfill An engineered method of disposing of solid waste on land in a manner that protects the environment, by spreading the waste in thin layers, compacting it to the smallest practical volume and covering it with compacted soil by the end of each working day or at more frequent intervals if necessary | sanitär uppläggning |
| gen. | sanitary landfill | sanitär uppläggning |
