Atmospheric dispersion and deposition of PCDD/FS from a landfill fire in Tagarades, Greece

Landfill fires raise significant air quality issues, as a broad range of toxic
pollutants are produced and emitted into the atmosphere.

In July 2006, such an incident occurred at the ‘Tagarades’ waste disposal site, which serves the Thessaloniki urban area in Northern Greece. The aim of this paper is the estimation of the atmospheric dispersion and deposition of PCDDs and PCDFs, which were emitted during this incident, with the help of mathematical models over a 48x48 km2 model-domain area. Approximately 17 g I-TEQ of PCDD/Fs were estimated to have been emitted during the landfill fire and about 10% of this amount has been assessed to have been deposited on the ground of the affected area.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
