The Forecasting of Air Pollution in an Ecological Landfill for Urban Waste
Abstract
Waste management is one of the major problems facing Romania in terms of environmental protection. This refers to the activities of collection, transport, treatment, recovery and disposal (Apostol, T., 1999). Waste from cities and towns and rural areas are most frequently discharged into the nearest landfill or illegally dumped in remote locations. Due to lack of facilities and poor operation, waste landfills are among the recognized risk generators on environmental impact and public health. The main types of impact and risk caused by urban and industrial waste landfills perceived by the population are: pollution of surface waters; air pollution, visual, changes in the composition of soil fertility and adjoining biocoenoses. In this paper we present a study case regarding the forecasting of air pollution in an ecological landfill for urban waste.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
