.Landfill gas is produced from decomposing mostly household waste and has a pungent, offensive smell. Landfill gas produced from waste at landfill sites can be actively extracted and be vented and /or flared off / utilised. Any landfill, which contains biodegradable organic matter has the potential to produce landfill gas. Landfill gas mainly comprises of methane, carbon dioxide and other traces gases which if release into the atmosphere can create odour nuisance. The flaring of landfill gas ensures that practically all of the methane ic converted to carbon dioxide and water. Landfill gas sites can be utilised to generate electricity. The combustion of landfill gas using flares from landfill sites or the utilisation of an engine to generate electricity is one of the recommended mitigation measures for the management of landfill gas. Dispersion of landfill gas through a chimney stack allows the emissions to be realeased at a high temperature and promotes dispersion of the landfill gas. Waste sites for landfill can continue to produce landfill gas for up 30 years. Landfill gas may contain trace amounts of hazardous substances, and contributes to global warming Anguila, Antigua, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belgium Belize Bermuda Bolivia Bosnia Botswana Bouvet Brazil British Virgin Islands Brunei Bulgaria Cambodia Cameroon Canada Cayman Islands Chad Chile China Colombia Commoros Congo Cook Islands Costa Rica Croatia Cuba Curacao Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Dutch Antilles East Timor Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia Falkland Islands Fiji Finland France French Guyana French Polynesia Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Gibraltar Greece Greenland Grenada Guadelupe Guam Guatemala Guyana Haiti Holland Hong Kong Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Korea Kuwait Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Luxembourg Macao Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Martinique Mauritania Mauritius Mexico Micronisia Monaco Mongolia Monserrat Morocco Mozambique Myanmar Namibia Nauru Nepal Netherlands New Caledonia South Africa South Korea Spain Sri Lanka St Lucia St Maarten St Vincent Sudan Surinam Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Syria Taiwan Tanzania Thailand Tonga Trinidad Tunisia Turkey Turks United States America USA UAE United Arab Emerates Uganda Ukraine UK United Kingdom Uruguay US Virgin Islands New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Niue Norfolk Island North Korea North Mariana Islands NI Northern Ireland Norway Oman Pakistan Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Puerto Rico Qatar Reunion Island Romania Russia Rwanda Saba San Marino Santo Domingo Sao Tome Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia Uzbekistan Vanuatu Vatican City Venezuela Vietnam British West Indies Western Samoa Yemen Zaire Zamia Zanzibar Zimbabwe books cameras dvds shoes perfumes vitamins toys bikes mobile phones |
