TL;DR: An overview of gas and leachate formation mechanisms in landfills and their adverse environmental impacts, and control methods to eliminate or minimize these impacts is presented in this paper. But the authors do not consider the potential health hazards, such as fires and explosions, vegetation damage, unpleasant odors, landfill settlement, ground water pollution, air pollution and global warming.

TL;DR: The results indicated that: (1) pre-sorting and baling of the waste did not hinder waste stabilization; and (2) the high organic and moisture contents resulted in an extremely strong leachates, particularly at the onset of biodegradation processes, which can affect the leachate treatment facility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the factors influencing the implementation of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System in developing countries taking the Food Industry in Lebanon as a case example, and find that the food industry is generally more concerned with safety and quality issues rather than environmental issues.

TL;DR: Estimation methods used for determining methane emissions from the management of wastewater, and applications for estimating countrywide methane gas emissions from wastewater management are presented, with Lebanon as an example.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model for the generation and transport of gas and heat in a sanitary landfill was developed based on earlier work on the Mountain View Controlled Landfill Project (MVCLP) in California, U.S.A. The model includes biochemical and temperature feedback loops to simulate the effects of their corresponding parameters on microbiological processes.
