Let us begin with a fact. There is abundant evidence from geology, archaeology, history and meteorology, that climate changes from time to time and there is abundant evidence that changes can be rapid and extreme. For example about 100,000 years ago the climate of British Isles, like the rest of …

According to the BioCycle/Columbia survey of municipal solid wastes (MSW), the U.S. generates nearly 400 million tons of MSW, 64% of which is landfilled. When MSW is buried in a landfill, a complex series of reactions occur in which anaerobic microorganisms decompose a portion of the organic fraction of the …

Due to its high content of methane, landfill gas can be regarded on the one hand as a useful alternative source of energy, when collected and utilized, whilst on the other hand, when released unused and untreated into the atmosphere, it causes considerable harm to the environment, contributing substantially to …

Landfill gas is formed whenever waste material is put into holes in the ground. Landfill gas will still be produced whether waste is simply dumped in large quantities and not burnt in surface fires, or it is deposited into a fully engineered modern (sanitary) landfill. It will be produced almost …
