Abstract
The rapid urban and industrial development has influenced the accumulation of problems in the sector of solid waste collecting and disposal. Non-efficient solving of this problem could negatively impact human health and quality of the environment. On the big municipal waste landfills the large amounts of landfill gas has been produced and can have potentially significant impact on air quality especially if the waste is disposed on non-adequate way. Within this work, the analysis of the landfill gas composition on the Prudinec/Jakuševec landfill in Zagreb, in the period from 2008. up to 2011. has been performed. Due to sanitation imrovement of Prudinec/Jakuševec landfill and its transformation in arranged waste landifll of the I. category in accordance with Croatian law and Europien Union standars, a large step in environmental protection was made and the possibility of the use of formed landfill gas as a source of energy has founded.
