Abstract The inorganic nitrogen transformations occurring at a municipal waste leachate treatment facility were investigated. The treatment facility consisted of a collection well and an artificial wetland between two aeration ponds. The first aeration pond showed a decrease in ammonium (from 3480 (±120) to 630(±90) mg · L−1 ), a reduction in inorganic nitrogen load (3480 to 1680 mg N · L−1 ), and an accumulation of nitrite (
