Oh, war, I despise. 'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives. War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes. When their sons go to fight. And lose their lives. I said, war, huh good god, why'all. What is it good for. Absolutely nothing say it again. War, whoa, lord. What is it good for.
6 Methane and Carbon Dioxide: Landfill gas is composed primarily of 50 percent methane and 50 percent carbon dioxide and other gases produced at less than 1 percent. Methane and carbon dioxide are generated through the biological decomposition of waste. Methane is naturally occurring flammable, colorless and odorless gas and is the principal explosive component of concern in landfill gas. Carbon dioxide is naturally found at low concentrations in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is colorless, odorless, and slightly acidic.
Much of this methane can be lost to the atmosphere if a gas collection system is not in place. Figure 2 shows how the capture rate may change over the lifetime of a landfill. The USEPA estimates that over the life of a landfill 25% of the methane generated in a landfill with gas collection will escape. Some advocates of bioreactors put that number as low as 10%, while some critics put it as high as 80%.
