  2. United States regulation of point source water pollution

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_regulation...

    Usually, permitted point sources of water pollution, such as wastewater treatment plants, have high discharge treatment costs, whereas nonpoint sources of water pollution, such as agriculture, have low costs of pollution reduction. Therefore, it is generally assumed that most trades would take place between point sources and nonpoint sources. [54]

  9. Landfill gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_gas

    The dominant process in most landfills is the third process whereby anaerobic bacteria decompose organic waste to produce biogas, which consists of methane and carbon dioxide together with traces of other compounds. [3] Despite the heterogeneity of waste, the evolution of gases follows well defined kinetic pattern.
