What is Leachate and Gas Monitoring?

Leachate and gas monitoring involves assessing and managing the by-products generated by landfills and waste disposal sites. Leachate, the liquid produced as waste breaks down, can contaminate groundwater and surrounding ecosystems if not properly managed. Similarly, landfill gas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide, poses environmental and safety risks without effective monitoring and mitigation.

At Raw Earth Environmental, we specialise in advanced leachate and gas monitoring services to help protect surrounding environments, comply with Australian regulations, and ensure the safe operation of waste management sites.

Why is Leachate and Gas Monitoring Important?

Effective monitoring of leachate and gas is essential to safeguard public health, minimise environmental risks, and comply with regulatory requirements. Without proper leachate management, contaminants such as heavy metals, ammonia, and organic pollutants can seep into nearby groundwater. Similarly, unmanaged landfill gas emissions contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas levels, posing risks to local communities and ecosystems.
