Abstract: | In this study, the distribution characteristics of reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) in ambient air were investigated in two coastal landfill (LF) facilities and their surrounding areas. The photochemical conversion of RSCs to sulfur dioxide (SO2) was also evaluated using a photochemical box model (PCBM). Measurements of RSCs were carried out from both in and around areas of two coastal LFs in Gunsan (G) and Donghae (D) city, Korea during several field campaigns (May through December 2004). The dominant RSCs at the Gunsan landfill (G-LF) were found to be DMS and H2S, whereas those at the Donghae landfill (D-LF) were H2S and DMDS. The concentrations of DMS at these study sites were likely to be affected not only by LF processes but also by an oceanic source, while such a pattern was more prominent at the D-LF. The chemical species of RSCs that can exert significant influences on the photochemical production of SO2 in the LF environment were identified to be H2S, DMS, or DMDS. |
