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).

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
