  ABSTRACT: The most visible uncontrolled landfill sites were selected in the western and eastern parts of the territory of Georgia. Particularly, in eastern Georgia the regions of Mtskheta-Mtianeti and Kvemo Kartli have been researched; and in western Georgia Imereti and Samtskhe-Javakheti correspondingly. Both chemical and microbiological analyses were conducted in the samples taken from their adjacent territories. In case the landfill site is located near the river, during field works using portable equipment main physical-chemical indicators of surface waters were determined. After processing of the obtained results the corresponding estimations were provided. The risks due to the environmental pollution and negative impacts on population health were assessed.
