RESUMO
In laboratory scale municipal solid waste lysimeters containing simulated refuse, and seeded with either laboratory or field strains of poliovirus type 1 and echovirus type 7, viruses were not detected in the lysimeter leachate produced over a 4-month period. In addition, viruses were not detected in the lysimeter refuse contents after termination of lysimeter operation. These results appeared to be due to virus retention in the lysimeter caused by virus adsorption and virus inactivation. Evidence for virus inactivation was provided by the results of experiments on virus inactivation in composite leachate samples. Evidence for virus adsorption was supported by the rapid adsorption of viruses to various municipal solid waste components in the presence of a salt solution similar in composition to the major inorganic salts of leachates.
