“…related to biochemical and physical processes which directly or indirectly affect the environmental components [16,18]. The variables were established taking into account relevant theoretical and practical studies regarding the siting of landfills, as well as guidelines established in European and Spanish legislation.…”

“…The structural elements considered in the EVIAVE methodology are the existence of organic matter, humidity and density of wastes. These three elements participate in the main biochemical and physical processes produced in the landfill and cause production of gas and leachate, affecting all the variables and providing greater weighting to some of them [16,18]. W j reaches a value of 2 when the variable is directly related to the structural elements, or when it affects the environmental components.…”

An inappropriate landfill site may have negative environmental, economic or ecological impacts. Landfill siting should therefore consider a wide range of territorial and legal factors to reduce such negative impacts as far as possible. This paper describes the application of an integrated system of landfill siting methodology. The methodology incorporates techniques from various scientific fields as well as GIS (Geographical Information Systems) to generate spatial data for the evaluation of the suitability of an area for optimal landfill siting. The resulting land suitability is reflected on a graded scale with several territorial indexes indicating the risk and probability of contamination for five environmental components: surface water, groundwater, atmosphere, soil and human health. The methodology has been applied to a site in Granada (Southern Spain).

“…The control and use of this gas need to estimate, with reasonable certainty, both daily production and the cumulative production of methane (CH 4 ) in the long term. However, regardless the method selected to conduct estimations, methodologies should consider [7]: 1) the diagnosis is only valid at the moment of assessment and its validity decreases with time if the landfill is not monitored; 2) the methodology can only be performed for municipal solid waste landfills, regardless of the scale operation; 3) Landfill waste composition may be obtained from reported historical data, waste characterization data at the population centre or from in-situ characterization.…”

This paper shows a comparative analysis of theoretical model for biogas estimations in landfill sites in order to determine reliability, accuracy and efficiency by comparing results with actual data obtained in-situ. The model from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Mexican model were selected to estimate biogas generation in a landfill site located in the State of Mexico, Mexico with 36 wells. Both models are based on a first order equation for degradation of organic matter assuming that the biogas generation reaches its maximum after a period of time and then biogas generation decreases exponentially while the organic fraction of waste is consumed. Measurement in-situ, using a landfill gas analyser (GA5000) /hr from Mexican model. The experiment evidenced significant variations in estimations versus actual measurements. Authors discuss the aspects and parameters that cause such variations in order to provide a comprehensive analysis which will help decision makers to base waste management strategies in Mexico on reliable data.,

“…Los problemas relativos a la contaminación y deterioro del medio ambiente por la inadecuada disposición de los residuos, ha hecho necesario el desarrollo de normativas destinadas a reducir en lo posible el impacto negativo de los puntos de vertido existentes (Calvo et al, 2005). Para ello será necesario llevar a cabo un diagnóstico ambiental de estos lugares que dé a conocer su problemática, lo que permitirá el desarrollo de directrices destinadas a solucionar el deterioro del medio ambiente.…”

La investigación se realizó en el Distrito de Desaguadero, Provincia de Chucuito, Departamento de Puno en el año 2014 con el objetivo de evaluar el ciclo del manejo de los residuos sólidos, determinar el balance de gestión total de residuos solidos y determinar el indicador evaluativo y calificativo del manejo actual de los residuos sólidos, el mismo que es un estudio complementario ejecutado por el autor en el año 2008 y que se ha retomado para verificar su validación teniendo en considerando que la contaminación ambiental por residuos sólidos es uno de los problemas más apremiantes que confrontan autoridades y población en general. El diseño de investigación que se utilizó fue el tipo No experimental, seccional, descriptiva y participativa, el método deductivo-inductivo, la metodología de análisis cuantitativo de campo y la estadística basado en ANOVA y MS EXCEL. Los resultados de la caracterización fueron: generación total de residuos sólidos 11.603 t/día, producción per cápita 0.50 kg/hab-día, densidad 423.44 kg/m3, los residuos que se generan en mayor proporción son los orgánicos con un 36.80%, la cobertura de recolección es del 65% y el manejo de los residuos sólidos es no adecuado, estos resultados son concordantes con otros estudios realizados debido a que el incremento en la generación de residuos sólidos refleja el crecimiento urbano acelerado y poco planificado por ser Desaguadero una zona eminentemente comercial en el que urge implementar y/o actualizar el Plan Integral de Gestión Ambiental de Residuos Sólidos.
