Abstract |
The report presents the results of a two-year study which included laboratory investigations as well as comprehensive literature review on methods of reducing the rate of emissions of volatile chemicals from surface impoundments and landfills. The report presents information on the following in-situ methods which may be employed to reduce emission rates: Air supported structures, Floating solid objects, Shape modification, Aerodynamic modification, Floating oil and/or surfactant covers, and Synthetic membranes over landfills. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the suitability of each of the methods under various circumstances and the degree of control which might be expected. |
