Description

Disposal of waste resulting from human activity is a practical problem. Its solution is often found by evacuating the waste into the geological medium. This paper reviews the main mechanisms which might be instrumental in transferring the waste back to the human environment. Examples are given of disposal of domestic, toxic industrial and radioactive waste. The role of grounwater, which is present in virtually all suitable geological formations, is given particular attention

Abstract (French)

L'elimination des dechets est un probleme pratique lie a l'activite humaine dont une solution, la plus frequemment utilisee, concerne le milieu geologique. Le present article tente, en prenant l'exemple des dechets menagers, industriels speciaux et radioatifs, de passer en revue les principaux mecanismes susceptibles d'entrainer un retour d'effluents toxiques vers l'environnement humain lors de la mise en decharge de ces dechets. Le role de l'eau souterraine, presente dans la quasi totalite des horizons geologiques recepteurs, est particulierement etudie
