English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
CONT

Landfill capping is a containment technology that forms a barrier between the contaminated media and the surface, thereby shielding humans and the environment from the harmful effects of its contents and perhaps limiting the migration of the contents. … Landfill caps do not lessen the toxicity, mobility, or volume of hazardous wastes, but they do limit migration. Landfill caps are most effective where most of the underlying waste is above the water table.

Record 3 2006-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Waste Management
CONT

Landfill gas is a threat to human health and global warming, and flaring or utilizing it for energy greatly reduces its climate change impact. Burning LFG [landfill gas] also serves to mitigate its public health impact by destroying the majority of hazardous air pollutants in landfill gas through the combustion process. Furthermore, using LFG to produce electricity avoids the need to generate electricity at traditional power plants and thus reduces air pollution from these plants. However, LFG combustion produces minute quantities of dioxins, an extremely toxic group of chemicals that are harmful even in very small amounts.

Key term(s)
  • combustion of LFG

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures antipollution
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

Les résultats de la combustion du gaz d'enfouissement dans une chaudière sont principalement le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et l'eau, avec des traces d'oxydes d'azote (NO[indice x), de monoxyde de carbone (CO), de dioxyde de soufre (SO2), d'hydrocarbures et d'imbrûlés.
