1 Project: Using Nitrate Produced From Leachate To Control Landfill Odors
Funded by: Presented by: Youneng Tang (PI, FAMU-FSU COE) Tarek Abichou (co-PI, FAMU-FSU COE)

2 News on landfill odors after hurricanes
Problem statement Proposed solution Three tasks Team & benefits Timeline Education & outreach News on landfill odors after hurricanes “The sulfur-smell moving throughout the county is coming from a landfill off Collier Boulevard, according to the Collier County Solid Waste Department. There was an increase in the amount of garbage collected after Hurricane Irma hit Southwest Florida, according to solid waste officials. The excess trash and recent rains created a strong odor.” “After Hurricane Andrew struck in August 1992, Broward residents deposited debris and waste from the massive reconstruction projects, changing the nature of the landfill gas. The level of hydrogen sulfide increased to as much as 5,000 ppm, creating severe odors.”

3 Hurricanes exacerbate the odor problems
