Abstract: Open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a poorly-characterized and frequently-underestimated source of air pollution in developing countries. This paper estimates the air pollution happening from MSW burning in municipality areas of the Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Air quality models (AQMs) are critical components for urban air quality management because they can predict and forecast air pollutant concentrations. Advanced AQM, such as AERMOD, has a well-established application in the developed world provided sufficient input data is available. However, in poor countries, it is limited due to a lack of adequate and trustworthy data. The present study is focused to assess the urban air quality due to municipal solid waste burning around a Sangam city Prayagraj in India using dispersion modelling. Keywords: PM10, PM2.5, Air Quality Modelling, AERMOD

Msw Composition

City sanitation plans are strategic planning processes for city wise sanitation sector development. Exponential increase in population and rapid economic development led to an increase in generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) which impacts the sanitation of a city. Also, emission of toxic gases from MSW dumpsites are the main threat to the environment and public health. In the present study, data regarding solid waste management has been collected and studied the current scenario of the municipal solid waste system of Gorakhpur city, Uttar Pradesh, India. MSW composition, physical and chemical analysis has been performed and Methane gases (CH4) generated from MSW of the city is quantified using LandGEM 3.02. Waste composition shows that city generates paper (6.33%), organic matter (56.1%), wood (1.36%), textile (3.73%), plastic (1.11%), Rubber (0.56%), glass (1.6%) and inert material (29.17%).  With the same rate of MSW generation, CH4 emission will amount to 6.6X103 Mg/yr, 1.9x104 Mg/yr of CO2  and 4.33x101 Non methanic organic carbon (NMOC) by 2050.  MSW analysis resulted in high moisture content of 35 -40% and organic matter of 56.1%. Based on the physio chemical analysis, suitable waste to energy option that could be adopted are biogas generation and vermi composting from the biodegradable component of MSW. Rest 36% of non-biodegradable part of MSW could be converted to Reduced Derived Fuel (RDF).
