Resumo
This research addresses the escalating global levels of atmospheric methane, emphasizing the critical
need for understanding its sources and behavior. Landfills are identified as methane super emitters,
because its rates range from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/h. Focusing on the Landfill in the district of São Mateus,
in the city of São Paulo, the study aims to investigate the significance of landfills in the rising methane
levels, emphasizing the impact of super emitters and methane hotspots. Field campaigns conducted
on February 15th and April 06th, 2023, utilized a portable greenhouse gas analyzer (ABB) to measure
methane concentrations. Meteorological parameters from ERA5 and the AERMOD Modeling System
were used for a comprehensive analysis. The results highlight elevated methane concentrations around
the Landfill, emphasizing its role as a significant methane super emitter. The study underscores the
importance of such analyses in understanding the impact of landfills on atmospheric methane levels.
