McNamara, Eoghan (2013) Environmental gas sensing. In: ABES, 27 CBESA (27th Brazilian Congress of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering), 15-19 Sept 2013, Goias, Brazil.
Abstract
Decomposing materials produce CO2 and CH4. This is true for landfill sites and anaerobic lagoons in waste water treatment plants. These are produced alongside other gasses such as H2S (hydrogen sulphide). The EPA are particularly interested in CO2 and CH4 because CO2 asphyxiates and CH4 is highly flammable (5-15% v/v CH4/air). There is a need for a monitoring platform so gas levels stay in safe regions.
