How waste in Landfills causes air pollution?
Landfills continue to grow and significantly impact environment in many ways. One of which is a mixture of gases and obnoxious odors, which is a primary component to landfill emission. Vulnerable populations like children, older adults, people with chronic conditions such as heart diseases, asthma and other respiratory ailments are especially susceptible to air pollution.
Solid waste disposal is a growing problem, particularly in developing countries due to the compounding effect it has on the environment of surrounding communities. The study assesses the health impacts of landfills on members of the surrounding community and recognizes possible hazards.
Megacities produce vast quantities of solid waste and landfills are the major headache for every municipal corporation around the world. Unbearable smells and the mixture of air pollutants are major components of landfill emission. Such air pollutants are CO, NOx, SO2, CO2, Particulate Matter, Hydrocarbons and VOCs.
