In old municipal waste landfills, the conditions of non-suitability of the site, combined with the erroneous design of the barriers and the poor knowledge of the interactions between the waste and the facilities, may often represent the main causes of environmental criticality. The latter is determined by the uncontrolled emissions of biogas and leachate during landfill operation or in the aftercare phase. The aim of this paper is to provide a retrospective analysis of landfills that suffered from criticalities of various kinds.

Abstract
In old municipal waste landfills, the conditions of non-suitability of the site, combined with the erroneous design of the barriers and the poor knowledge of the interactions between the waste and the facilities, may often represent the main causes of environmental criticality. The latter is determined by the uncontrolled emissions of biogas and leachate during landfill operation or in the aftercare phase. The aim of this paper is to provide a retrospective analysis of landfills that suffered from criticalities of various kinds.
