The concept of a Health Protection Zone for Sanitary Landfill of Urban Refuse has been established in Fu Shan City. It is based on a series of local air quality investigations and measurements. For determining major air pollutants from a sanitary landfill, an area source dispersion model is used to calculate a fugitive emission rate of various air pollutants. According to the Ambient Air Quality Standard of China (GB 3095-82), and by reference to Allowed Concentration in Habitable Areas of America and Japan, a Standard for a Health Protection Zone for Sanitary Landfill of Urban Refuse in Fu Shan has been developed.
