Methane emission from municipal solid waste landfills

Methane fluxes from municipal solid waste landfills in Surgut and Khanty-Mansiysk are assessed in August 2015 by the inverse modeling method. It is revealed that the methane flux values vary from 0.3 to 5.8 g CH 4 /(m 2 hour). The highest value of the methane flux is typical of a landfill that is cu...

Description
Summary:Methane fluxes from municipal solid waste landfills in Surgut and Khanty-Mansiysk are assessed in August 2015 by the inverse modeling method. It is revealed that the methane flux values vary from 0.3 to 5.8 g CH 4 /(m 2 hour). The highest value of the methane flux is typical of a landfill that is currently used for the waste disposal and is not covered with the soil layer, whereas the lowest value was obtained for a closed small-capacity landfill covered with soil and vegetation.
