Landfill operators keep a keen eye out for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions – this volatile compound found in landfill gas is a major driver of odors even in concentrations as low as single-digit parts per billion they can be recognized and found offensive. H2S typically makes up only about 1% of methane, but that 1% is concentrated, making it one of the largest landfill gas emission contributors to odors.

The risk reduction was 23% for a single passenger sitting in the same row and two seats away from an infected person, rather than in an adjacent seat, the study said.
