520 _aReports on the problem of landfill site odours. Identifies reasons why only certain landfill sites suffer from odours and discusses the main causes of odours; waste tipping and landfill gas. Looks at the EU Landfill Directive which requires the reduction of biodegradable municipal waste and is likely to also reduce the volume of landfill gas generated. Introduces the draft standard, "Determination of odour concentration by dynamic olfactometry" (prEN13725), which sets down procedures for determining odour strength, and discusses methods of controlling landfill odours.
