“…The hazards of damaged LIBs are in addition to conventional landfill fires, which produce a mixture of toxic gases and smoke 77,93 consisting of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [94][95][96] , dioxins/furans [97][98][99][100][101] , volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 102,103 , heavy metals 104,105 polychlorinated biphenyls or organochlorine pesticides 104 and finally, particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm 106,107 . Subsurface fires favour the generation of harmful gases such as CO, SO 2 or H 2 S 77 -some of these gases are also generated within burning batteries [19][20][21][22][23][24] .…”

“…Although exceptions of preponderant influence from one source can be found (Shih et al, 2008), it is more common that ambient concentrations in air, soils, and water are a mixing result of different sources, where of course some may have more influence than others, but dioxin levels near an efficient industrial plant cannot be entirely related to this activity. Traffic, other processes, and deposition mechanisms from different sources contribute to the final concentration, thus reducing the gap between urban and rural ambient concentrations (Katsoyiannis et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2011;Vassura et al, 2011;Gworek et al, 2013;Wohrnschimmel and Yao, 2014).…”

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are a group of dangerous compounds, emitted mostly from anthropogenic sources, that have negative effects on human health. Therefore, it is interesting to analyze the emission patterns of dioxins proceeding from different sources around the world, to observe the actual trend of the transmission of dioxins and furans into the atmosphere.For that reason, the main objective of the present document is to provide a general assessment about the dioxin problematic, analyzing the main parameters that influence the ambient concentration of dioxins worldwide, and describing the most characteristic features of the fingerprint from different sources, while making emphasis in the importance that non-industrial sources are gaining over the last years in front of the decreasing tendency of industrial sources. The description of the most important abatement technologies for dioxins is also included in this review.Implications: Given the negative effects of dioxins in human health, it is important to depict and locate the main sources of these dangerous compounds. Emissions proceeding from industrial facilities have decreased over the last years; however, other zones where nonindustrial sources used to be relevant contributors do not show the same decreasing tendency because it is more difficult to control this type of emissions. For that reason, future studies should focus on measuring and regulating this highly uncontrolled source of dioxins.

“…All monitored facilities are subject to regular collection and analyses of data from the measurement of the production of leachates, landfill gas, and the amount and type of disposed and stored wastes. Potential impact of the landfills on the environment is a subject to long-term monitoring, too [29][30][31]. From our previous research of landfill sites, it is evident that classic landfill monitoring should be supplemented with biomonitoring.…”

When the landfill use comes to end, important subsequent steps include aftercare, safety assurance, and ecological regeneration. Landfill revegetation is cost-effective and eco-friendly approach in the management of landfill areas, which serves the purpose of stabilization and provides a pleasant landscape. There are various vegetation types that can be planted, yet grass species are often used for low-cost reasons. Plants can be important sources of air pollution, particularly by grass pollen. The main goal of our study was to identify plant species that produce allergenic pollen. Long-term vegetation monitoring took place on three sites in the growing seasons of years 2008–2018. Studied objects were landfills located in the Czech Republic. The vegetation was assessed using a floristic survey of identified plant species. Plant species that produced allergens were recorded. During the monitoring, 298 plant species were determined. Plant species with allergenic pollen have a considerable share in the landfill vegetation. Thus, landfills are potential sources of various kinds of allergenic pollen. Moreover, our results indicated that there are three periods of pollen production: early spring, late spring, and early summer; late summer; and autumn. The second period is typical for the production of highly allergenic pollen by grasses. Most detected plant species with allergenic pollen are common for all monitored sites, which demonstrates that the vegetation of landfills is a significant source of allergenic pollen.
