2019 journal article

Investigation and modelling of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from waste collection and transport activities

WASTE MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH, 37(12), 1282–1290.

By: C. Yaman *, I. Anil *, M. Jaunich n , N. Blaisi *, O. Alagha*, A. Yaman*, S. Gunday *

author keywords: Greenhouse gas; waste; collection; transfer; AERMOD; global warming factor
MeSH headings : Carbon Dioxide; Global Warming; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gases; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste
topics (OpenAlex): Vehicle emissions and performance; Environmental Impact and Sustainability; Electric Vehicles and Infrastructure
TL;DR: The American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) modelling system was used to estimate the atmospheric dispersion of greenhouse gas emissions, and results revealed that the maximum daily greenhouse gas concentrations ranged between 0.174 and 97.3 mg m-3, while annual average greenhouseGas concentrations were found to be within the study domain.
