“…Eriksson et al, 1996 found that "it cannot generally be concluded that road transport increases with a higher degree of recycling of newspapers". This is confirmed in a study for Australia by Pickin et al (2002), and hence we do not increase road transport.…”

“…The environmental significance of VOC is well known in various respects, e.g., their potential role in the formation of photooxidants [1,2] or in olfactory pollution [3,4]. Because of the significant influence on local and/or regional air quality, mitigation of landfill gas (LFG) emissions has often been viewed as an important element of LF emissions abatement research [5,6].…”

“…The results of previous studies generally indicate that vent pipes installed to infiltrate deep into landfilled waste layers can facilitate the ventilation of major gases or pollutants of environmental significance at abnormally high purity (e.g., up to a few tens of percent levels in CO 2 , CH 4 , and H 2 O vapor: Pickina et al, 2002). As such, the application of those landfill gas (LFG) as fuel resources is not uncommon in many landfill environments.…”

In this study, concentrations of major aromatic VOCs were determined from landfill gas (LFG) at a total of five municipal landfill sites in Korea including Nan Ji (NJ), Woon Jung (WJ), Sam Poong (SP), Hoei Chun (HC), and No Hyung (NH). The concentration levels of those VOC were found to be significantly different, mainly as a function of such a parameter as landfill aging. The VOC concentrations measured from the unclosed landfill sites (e.g., WJ) were characterized by exceedingly high values above a few tens of ppm. However, the results of the abandoned site (e.g., SP) were about three orders of magnitude lower than the others so as to merely exceed the typical ambient concentration levels. It was most striking to find a systematic dominance of toluene over other aromatic VOC under most circumstances. The LFG flux values of all aromatic VOC and the four specific major ones (termed as BTEX: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) were also computed for each vent pipe from all study sites using their concentrations and the concurrently determined environmental parameters. The results, if calculated in terms of the average BTEX quantity emitted per vent pipe, showed that the magnitude of their emissions can vary substantially, with the values ranging from 0.05 (SP) to 49.2 kg yr(-1) (WJ in wintertime). The LFG flux values of aromatic VOC, when compared to the contribution of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), were able to explain a constant, but minor, proportion of the LFG carbon budget.
