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 …

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 …

Landfill gas causes quite a list of possible impacts. It is flammable, water vapour saturated and odorous, and if it escapes the landfill it can be a hazard as well as a nuisance to the local community. Landfill gas can also result in local air pollution, as well as harming …
