Meteorology-driven Causal Nowcasting of Fugitive Landfill Emissions Enables Proactive Public Health Response

arXiv:2608.14254v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fugitive emissions from waste sites increasingly expose communities to toxic and odorous gases, yet public-health responses remain largely retrospective, with episodes investigated only after residents have been exposed. Here we show that the meteorological drivers of elevated hydrogen sulphide (HS) at a long-monitored European landfill, and the timescales over which they act, can be identified directly from routine monitoring data. We introduce
