Landfill Monitoring
The harmful environmental and health impacts of gases and odors emitted from landfills cannot be overstated. With growing urbanization, the gap between landfills and residential areas narrows, making effective monitoring crucial not only for health and safety but also for meeting legal requirements.
The challenges of landfill gases
Gases that escape from landfill sites can become latent hazards in enclosed spaces. These emissions can even lead to explosions in certain conditions, making consistent and effective monitoring an essential precaution.
Choosing the correct monitoring method
The best monitoring method depends on various factors:
- Type of landfill
- Site conditions
- Regulatory mandates
- Costs
- Monitoring objectives
