Europe may have up to 500,000 landfills: many unmapped, forgotten and compromised. Our modelling shows the scale of risk. We also documented sites leaking PFAS, heavy metals, plastics and other toxins. www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/europe...

Because they were created before we had environmental rules, many older landfills have no lining, they don't have filtration systems for rainwater runoff, + there were no restrictions on what could go into them - think of lead acid batteries, old flypaper treated with arsenic, PFOA on old pans.
