Landfill gases are produced by the decomposition of organic waste.
Common landfill gases include:
Methane
(CH₄)
Carbon dioxide
(CO₂)
Hydrogen
sulphide (H₂S)
Trace volatile
organic compounds
(VOCs)
Methane is flammable and explosive
Some gases are toxic to humans
Gas migration can impact nearby buildings and environments
Monitoring ensures early detection, risk management, and compliance.

Landfills typically produce:
Yes, landfill gas can be toxic depending on its composition. Some gases can cause health issues from irritants to longer-term health issues, or pose explosion risks.
Methane is flammable and can accumulate to dangerous levels. Monitoring helps prevent explosions and environmental harm.
Methane is collected using gas extraction systems, including wells and pipe networks, and can be used for energy generation.
Landfill gas monitoring involves measuring gas levels to assess environmental impact and ensure safety.
Some technology options can monitor continuously and unmanned for up to three months. They can also monitor atmospheric pressure and temperature, even water depth.
The primary gas produced is methane, along with carbon dioxide and trace gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, ammonia and sulphides.
Incinerators can produce gases such as CO₂, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other emissions depending on the waste type.
