[24] conducted several measurements as a function
of sampling time and area of activity (unloading, spreading,
and compaction of waste) on a fresh waste open cell at a landfill
in France. Ambient air samples were taken using sampling tubes
with activated carbon. Desorption of VOCs was done by sonication,
and analysis was carried out using a GC/MS. Most VOCs were
measured at greater concentrations in the truck unloading waste
area compared to the open cell. In addition, it was concluded that
temperature and wind had an impact on the variation of VOC concentrations.
An extensive review on the sampling and analytical
procedures for VOCs emitted fromMSWlandfills was also provided
by Chiriac et al.
