Environmental Monitoring for Landfills and Waste Facilities
Bettair can continuously monitor H2S, NH3 and other configured parameters alongside particles, noise and environmental variables. Distributed nodes provide time-linked information that can be compared with wind direction and speed to investigate odor-related episodes, identify recurring patterns and support environmental management teams when responding to complaints or assessing corrective measures.
Environmental Monitoring Challenges in Landfills & Waste Management
Waste facilities can generate recurring odor complaints associated with H2S, NH3 and other gases, while particles, methane, noise and changing meteorology add context. Intermittent measurements may miss short episodes and make source investigation difficult. Environmental managers need continuous, time-linked evidence to understand events, respond to complaints and assess proper conditions.

Intermittent measurements may miss short episodes and make source investigation difficult. Environmental managers need continuous, time-linked evidence to understand events, respond to complaints and assess proper conditions.
Changing environmental conditions
Environmental conditions can vary by activity, location and meteorology, making isolated measurements difficult to interpret.
Complex operational environments
Landfills & Waste Management sites can contain multiple sources, receptors and operating conditions that require distributed visibility.
Need for continuous evidence
Time-linked data helps investigate episodes, compare locations and support environmental management with traceable evidence.
What to Monitor
Configure the monitoring network around the environmental objectives of the landfills & waste management project.
1
Particulate Matter
PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 measurements provide continuous visibility into particulate conditions around waste facilities, operational areas and perimeter locations.
2
Gases & Emissions
Configurable measurements of H₂S, NH₃, CH₄ and other relevant gases can help investigate changing environmental conditions and support the analysis of odor-related episodes around waste facilities.
3
Environmental Noise
Continuous acoustic monitoring can characterize environmental noise associated with waste-management operations, vehicle movements and other activities around facilities and nearby receptors.
4
Environmental Conditions
Temperature, humidity, pressure and wind measurements provide important context when analysing gas concentrations and investigating how environmental conditions influence potential odor episodes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landfills & Waste Management
Common questions about environmental monitoring in landfills & waste management projects.
Can Bettair monitor H₂S and NH₃?
Yes. H₂S and NH₃ are among the gases that can be monitored with Bettair configurations. These measurements can be particularly relevant when investigating odor-related episodes around waste facilities and wastewater treatment environments.
Can Bettair help investigate odor episodes?
Continuous H₂S, NH₃ and other relevant measurements can provide time-series information that helps environmental teams investigate when episodes occur and relate observations to environmental conditions such as wind direction and speed.
Can Bettair monitor particulate matter around waste facilities?
Where should Bettair nodes be placed around a landfill?
Where should Bettair nodes be placed around a landfill?
Node locations should be defined according to the monitoring objective, considering operational areas, facility boundaries, nearby receptors and locations where odor or other environmental concerns have been reported.
Can Bettair monitor environmental noise at waste facilities?
Yes. Environmental noise can be monitored alongside particles, gases and environmental variables, providing additional information about conditions around waste-management operations and nearby receptors.
Can meteorological data help investigate odor episodes?
Yes. Wind direction and speed can provide important context when analysing H₂S, NH₃ and other measurements during odor-related episodes, helping environmental teams investigate when and under what conditions events occur.
