매립장 지역의 VOC 조성 및 배출 특성 연구: 매립장에 대한 배출원조사연구사업의 총괄 정리 2000-2004

Abstract

In order to accurately evaluate the distribution and emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOC) produced in the landfill environment, we conducted a series of field campaign to measure VOC emissions from a total of eight landfill sites located all across the Korean Peninsula. During the field measurements made from Sept. 2000 to Dec. 2004, we investigated VOC emission characteristics from 1 large-scale, 5 midscale, and 2 small-scale landfill sites. The results of our 4-years study are used to provide valuable information for the management of landfill facilities in Korea. If annual emission rates of VOC are compared in terms of toluene, the magnitude of its emission differed between the closed and active landfills. Whereas closed landfills show emission rates from a few tens to 500 g/yr, those of active ones were recorded as 1,000 to 40,000 g/yr.
