Rule will reduce air pollution from landfills

Article Abstract:

A ruling issued by the EPA aims to respond to the call for environmental sanitation by proper waste management. The ruling is expected to decrease toxic emissions and harmful air pollutants from municipal landfills by 50% by requiring landfill operators to drill collection wells into the landfill. The methane gas generated from the landfills can be synthesized and reused for fueling purposes. However, an issue is raised regarding the profitability of gas recovery system that has a significant effect on landfill management.
