Direct Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Full-Scale Wastewater Treatment Systems

This paper addresses two knowledge gaps in the quantification of direct emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from wastewater treatment systems: the influencing factors of the magnitude of dissolved methane generation and subsequent unaccounted loss in low-strength anaerobic systems and the magnitude and variability of nitrous emissions from biological nutrient removal processes.
