This book describes landfill sites, (designated areas for the disposal of waste materials), widely recognized as a substantial contributor to the deterioration of air quality due to the release of various pollutants into the atmosphere. An advantage of this book is that each chapter is authored by esteemed scholars who are widely acknowledged as leading experts in their respective fields. As a result, this compilation offers a comprehensive portrayal of the emissions originating from Engineered Landfills and the resulting impacts on global climate dynamics. Additionally, it is essential to highlight that the contributing authors come from a diverse array of nations, including both developing and developed countries, thus providing this publication with a truly global and all-encompassing perspective on the imminent climatic challenges that lie ahead. In light of these factors, it is evident that this book contributes significantly to the literature on atmospheric pollutants and is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners alike.
