Confirmation of methane gas presence in southern Tehran
The deputy director of the waste management office of the Environmental Protection Organization stated that our landfill sites definitely emit methane gas.
The main problem is that we bury 80 to 85 percent of our waste, meaning the volume of our landfill sites is very large, and as a result, we will witness a lot of methane gas emissions.
The next fundamental issue is that our landfill sites are very old.
Methane gas is a harmful gas that affects global warming.
