Impact evaluation of landfills on air quality: odours and toxic compounds
Emissions from municipal solid waste landfills (MSWL) have the potential to cause olfactive annoyance and health impacts among the surrounding populations. The objective of this study was to examine the impacts on the air quality of MSWL in Quebec in terms of odours and potentially toxics compounds related to biogas emissions.
The project was performed on six MSWL through an assessment of odours and potentially toxic emissions and a dispersion modeling at each landfill site to estimate the human exposure to potentially toxic compounds and odours. The emissions of selected pollutants, such as volatil organic compounds (VOC), terpens and sulfur compounds, were estimated by a methodology using the landfill gas emission LandGEM 2.01 software and by a methodology based on field measurements. The exposure to pollutants was estimated by the emissions assessment using the field measurements methodology combined with two atmospheric dispersion models: the Gaussian model of ISCST3 software and the Gifford-Gaussian model of TROPOS software which is specifically designed for odour dispersion. The meteorological conditions under which the dispersion models were applied referred to the representative scenario in southern Quebec. The assessed air pollutant concentrations for potentially toxic and odorous compounds were significantly below the Quebec exposure health criteria.

Use of a Fabric Filter for the Sorption – What Has to be Considered? – Experiences and Solutions –
© TK Verlag - Fachverlag für Kreislaufwirtschaft (9/2016)
In almost all flue gas cleaning systems installed at WtE-plants, the fabric filters are central components. A good example for this is the conditioned dry sorption process which is currently preferentially used in Europe. Within the filter not only the particles and the particulate heavy metals are separated from the gas flow, but also all reaction products resulting from the separation of gaseous pollutants such as HF, HCl, SOx, heavy metals and in this respect particularly Hg as well as PCDD/PCDF. In addition to this the fabric filter constitutes an excellent reaction chamber with high additive powder density in the filter cake.
