Measurement of dust and gaz fugitives emissions - flow and composition - from waste treatment or storage facilities and polluted sites. State of knowledge

Summary

This work provided a critical review of the methods and tools for estimating and/or quantifying diffuse gas and particle emissions from waste treatment/storage centres and polluted sites. The document describes the techniques used to measure emissions at source (sampling chambers, etc.) as well as those used to measure emissions at the site scale (known as "perimeter" measurements), such as optical measurements, tracing or inverse modelling. The analysis of the various measurement methods specifies: - the measurement principle, equipment and logistics, the associated measurement strategy, the level of expertise required; - the spatial and temporal representativeness of the measurements; - the technical maturity, existing references (guides, standards, etc.) and associated uncertainties if available; - the type of sources to which each technique can be applied.

Keywords: émissions diffuses, poussières et gaz, centres traitement déchets, centres stockage déchets, sites pollués, mesures à la source, mesures périmétriques, chambres à flux, tunnels à vent, modélisation inverse, measurement of fugitives emissions, waste treatment facilities
