Waste is not only an environmental problem, but an economic loss because Romania recycles only a small part of municipal waste.
The use of atmospheric pollutant dispersion models has become necessary due to cost-efficiency reasons, given the limitation of fixed measuring points/stations for these pollutants.
The paper studies the dispersion of PM10 dust particle pollution in the landfill?s area of influence, depending on wind direction and speed. Simulations are based on measurements of suspended particles, carried out each season, in the perimeter of the analysed ecological landfill.
Based on these simulations, the landfill?s area of influence can be established and measures to reduce PM10 dust pollution can be established.
Two monitoring points were selected, located in the NE, respectively SE, sides of the landfill. The months of the year in which the monitoring was carried out were chosen to cover each season, namely: February, May, August and November.
The area-specific climatological data needed for the program were measured during the same period in which samples were taken.
Based on these simulations, we established the area of influence for PM10 dust that is generated by activities carried out within the municipal waste deposit. We found out that this area doesn?t extend beyond the waste treatment and storage unit?s limits.
Due to great distance from the village in immediate vicinity of the warehouse, the inhabited areas register no pollution with PM10 particles.
