Waste remains a serious environmental and human health hazard in develo** nations,
including those in Latin America and the Caribbean (LA&C). Despite important …

Methane is an important greenhouse gas which is produced from many natural and
anthropogenic sources. It plays an important role in overall global warming. A significant …

Landfill gases produced during biological degradation of buried organic wastes include
methane, which when released to the atmosphere, can contribute to global climate change …

In order to understand the limits and dynamics of methane (CH4) oxidation in landfill cover
soils, we investigated CH4 oxidation in daily, intermediate, and final cover soils from two …

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has gained significant attention due to its environmental
impact and economic potential. Chemical industries have focused on specialized catalytic …

The production of biogas in landfills, its composition and the problems resulting from its
generation are all reviewed. Biofiltration is a promising option for the control of emissions to …

The biodegradation of waste plastics (high/low density polyethylene, HDPE/LDPE;
polypropylene, PP; polystyrene, PS) in the simulated lysimeters of semi-aerobic landfill was …

We reviewed literature results from 42 determinations of the fraction of methane oxidized
and 30 determinations of methane oxidation rate in a variety of soil types and landfill covers …

The on-going annual increase in global methane (CH 4) emissions can be largely attributed
to anthropogenic activities. However, as more than half of these emissions are diffuse and …

Soil bacteria known as methanotrophs are the sole biological sink for atmospheric methane
(CH 4), a potent greenhouse gas that is responsible for∼ 20% of the human-driven increase …
