摘要:The time series data obtained from in-borehole measurement of CH4 and CO2 from a landfill site in Manchester, UK are given. Analysis reveals that they were variable for the period under investigation. There is a significant positive correlation between ground CH4/CO2 concentrations and their monitoring time. During this period, CH4 concentration has increased from 0.5% to 62.7%. Similarly, CO2 concentration has increased from 0.6% to 35.5%. Both gases have positive correlation coefficients of 0.5671 and 0.6653 respectively with time horizon of June – September 2011. Also, the two gases exhibit positive correlation coefficient of 0.9205 with each other; indicating that emission of CH4 creates potential for emission of CO2 and vice versa.
