Determination of Landfill Gas Composition and Pollutant Emission Rates at FreshKills Landfill. Volume 2. Appendices to Project Report

摘要

Air emissions of landfill gas pollutants at Fresh Kills Landfill, located inStaten Island, NY, were estimated based on three weeks of sampling of flow, concentration, and flux at passive vents, gas extraction wells, gas collection plant headers, and the landfill surface conducted by Radian Corporation in 1995. Emission rates were estimated for 202 pollutants, including hydrogen sulfide, mercury vapor, speciated volatile organic compounds, methane, and carbon dioxide. Results indicate that large amounts of mercury enter the methane, and carbon dioxide. Results indicate that large amounts of mercury enter the methane recovery plant. Emission factors based on the results are presented.
