Abstract
The impact of burning and nonburning MSW landfills on humans and the environment has been studied. It has been shown, that even nonburning landfills are prolonged threat, discarding such highly toxic compounds as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, disulfides, ammonia, amines, nitrogen oxides, phosphines, arsines, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, etc. Burning landfills discard polyaromatic hydro-carbons (PAHs), as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). The study of technologies of MSW thermal rendering harmless with obtaining energy has been carried out. It is shown that the controlled MSW burning within the conditions of modern enterprise allows not only minimization of formation of these supertoxicants, but as well to decrease their further discard into atmosphere practically to zero, thanks to correctly selected methods of the flue gases cleaning.
