Organic matter degradation is an important parameter for the evaluation of the long-term emission potential and the consequent environmental impact of municipal solid waste landfills (Cossu and Raga, 2005). Numerous test methods have been developed to test the degradability of organic matter in waste materials (Zach et al., 1998).
Biological methods are promising to assess biodegradability of organic matter. However, these methods can be time consuming and are possibly affected by the presence of toxic contaminants, leading to underestimation of organic matter degradability (Zach et al., 1998). In addition, these methods are not suitable for estimation of the organic carbon fraction that is responsible for facilitated transport of metals and organic micro-pollutants in environmental systems such as landfills. Particularly, relatively stable humic substances as humic (HA) and fulvic (FA) acids in the organic matter fraction can enhance the solubility of these contaminants (Milne et al., 2003).

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
