Most often, the body of such a device is made of plastic. This type of material can lie in the ground for a very long time and decompose during 100 and more years. All this time, polymers will poison the soil. If there is groundwater nearby, then they will systematically worsen their condition.. If there is a fire, what often happens in spontaneous landfills, then the polymer material will smoulder for a very long time. At the same time, harmful toxic compounds will enter the air..
