Variability and diversity of landfill leachate cause difficulties in assessing the actual degree of threat to the environment and selecting an appropriate method of disposal or treatment. Therefore, quantifying leachate contamination potential is essential in landfill management and could be used to assess the accuracy of landfill operation and its impact on surrounding areas. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and its suitability in determining leachate pollution potential in comparison to the Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) method. For this purpose, the quality of leachate from the landfill, collected four times a year from 2004 to 2021, was analysed. The following parameters were monitored: pH, EC, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, and Hg. On the basis of the measured parameters, the LPI and TOPSIS indexes were calculated. The obtained results indicated that the TOPSIS method is more sensitive and accurate in observing changes in leachate quality. It can be applied to any number of contaminant parameters without restrictions on scope, quantity, or their relative importance. It can also be used to compare the variations in leachate quality over time or to analyse differences in leachate quality among various landfill sites.

Zmienność i zróżnicowanie jakości odcieków składowiskowych stanowi trudność zarówno w ocenie stopnia zagrożenia przez nie środowiska jak i w doborze odpowiedniej metody ich unieszkodliwiania lub oczyszczania. Dlatego ilościowe określenie potencjału zanieczyszczenia odciekami jest niezbędne w zarządzaniu składowiskami i może być wykorzystane do oceny prawidłowości eksploatacji składowiska oraz jego wpływu na otaczające obszary. Celem pracy była ocena skuteczności metody TOPSIS (Technique for Order preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) oraz jej przydatności w określaniu potencjału zanieczyszczenia odcieków w porównaniu do metody LPI (Leachate Pollution Index). Analizie poddano jakość odcieków pobieranych w latach 2004–2021 ze składowiska odpadów komunalnych. Do badań przyjęto 7 wskaźników fizyczno‑chemicznych odcieków (pH, EC, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, Hg) i w oparciu o ich wielkości obliczono indeksy LPI i TOPSIS na przestrzeni 18 lat. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że metoda TOPSIS jest bardziej czuła i pozwala na szczegółową i dokładną obserwację zmian jakości odcieków. Może być stosowana dla dowolnej liczby wskaźników zanieczyszczeń bez ograniczeń co do zakresu, ilości i wagi tych wskaźników. Metodę TOPSIS można również wykorzystać do porównywania zmienności jakości odcieków w czasie lub do analizy różnic w jakości odcieków z różnych składowisk.
