Scentroid’s CTair ambient air quality monitor and GD600 gas dilution calibration device played a pivotal role in a recent court case involving a landfill in Michigan. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) filed a lawsuit against the landfill, alleging that the company did not comply with government regulations and standards for hazardous air pollutants in municipal solid waste landfills. Among other things, the lawsuit claimed that the landfill failed to control methane concentration, which could have been a serious risk to public safety.

As part of the suit, the landfill was required to employ six Scentroid CTair units as part of their Perimeter Emissions Monitoring Program. These devices continuously monitored landfill emissions, ensuring pollutants remained within government regulations. By utilizing Scentroid’s devices, the landfill demonstrated its commitment to environmental responsibility and avoided costly litigation.

Scentroid’s CTair ambient air quality monitor is a highly advanced device that provides accurate and reliable air quality data. The device uses cutting-edge sensor technology to detect a wide range of pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), and ammonia (NH3). The device’s data is transmitted in real-time to a cloud-based platform, allowing easy analysis and interpretation.

The lawsuit also alleges that the landfill did not follow the standards for hazardous air pollutants for municipal solid waste landfills. These standards are outlined in 40 CFR 63.1930 et seq and 40 CFR 60.750 et seq, and rule 902 of part 55 of the NREPA Michigan Admin Code R 336.1902 Renewable Operating Permit MI-ROP-N2688 2011a. This was due to the landfill wells having a landfill gas temperature exceeding 55 degrees Celsius, indicating a lack of gas collection and control systems.

Thanks to the accurate data provided by Scentroid’s devices, the landfill demonstrated its commitment to environmental responsibility and compliance with regulations. The case highlights the importance of using reliable air quality monitoring equipment to ensure compliance with regulations and laws. By partnering with Scentroid, companies can showcase their commitment to environmental responsibility and minimize their impact on the environment.
