Résumé

This is the first attempt that investigate the abundance of plasticizers in leachate sediment in the scientific literature, alongside the debut effort to explore the abundance of microplastics and plasticizers in landfill leachate and sediment in Sri Lanka. Microplastics in sizes ranging from ≥2.0 - 5.0 to ≥1.0 - 2.0 and ≥0.5 - 1.0 mm were extracted from the leachate draining from 10 municipal solid waste (MSW) open dump sites and sediment samples covering seven districts. Microplastics were extracted by density separation (Saturated ZnCl
