Abstract

This research presents an application of the closed flux chamber used to determine the emissions of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the cover layer of the old dump in Brasília / DF. The results obtained in these studies indicated that the flow of CH₄ reaches values up to 250 kg /m² year and CO₂up to 570.84 kg /m² year. Through the measures, it was verified that one of the analyzed cracks may have large dimensions, which may be compromising the functioning of the cover layer and favoring large emissions of greenhouse gases in the landfill region.
