Abstract
ABSTRACT
Experiments were performed using landfill simulators to evaluate the effectiveness PVC film as an organic vapor barrier. Vapor emission rates were studied for three chemicals: methanol, methylcyclohexane (MCH), and 1,2-dichloropropane (DCP). Emission rates were determined by monitoring the simulator system weight loss as a function of time. The results indicate that PVC will not have practical applications as an organic vapor barrier in landfill covers.
