Emission and potential risks of bioaerosols in sanitary landfill

Abstract:

With the improvement of the bioaerosol understanding, more and more attention has been paid to their sources, pollution characteristics and health risks. Sanitary landfill is one of the main sources of bioaerosol. This paper explains the concentration level, particle size distribution and microbial population structure of microorganisms in aerosol particles of sanitary landfill, analyses the pollution characteristics, influencing factors and potential risks, and prospects the future hot spot and the main direction of microbial emissions of sanitary landfill. This paper will supply scientific basis and reference for the control and reduction of bioaerosols in sanitary landfill.

Key words:Sanitary landfill, Aerosol particles, Microorganisms, Emission characteristics, Potential risks
