I. i one of the most significant environmental concerns is waste generation [1]. waste management is an increasing environmental and health issue all over the world [2]. landfills are used as a predominant method for waste disposal. they pose a significant threat to the environment since, during landfill operations, severe hazards, including gas and leachate, are produced, contaminating groundwater and soil if not properly managed [3], [4]. leachate formation is currently one of the greatest problems that must be managed. when it gets in contact with the surrounding soil, surface, water, and groundwater, it can cause major pollution problems, having a detrimental effect on living organisms [5], [6]. soil represents a major sink for metals that are released into the environment from a wide range of anthropogenic sources. because of their fairly mobile nature, some of these metals could be persistent. others are more mobile and have the potential to leach through the soil profile at a higher rate, reaching the groundwater [7]. therefore, a pollution problem arises when heavy metals are mobilized into soil solutions and transported to groundwater. therefore, soil analysis is essential for identifying the characteristics of soil in the study
