-The [[La Doña Juana Landfill]] is emitting high levels of CH4, making a significant contribution to global warming (Greenpeace Colombia, 2024).
+The [[09|La Doña Juana Landfill]] is emitting high levels of CH₄, having a significant impact on global warming (Greenpeace Colombia, 2024).
-Waste within landfills gradually decomposes as it accumulates. In the absence of proper management, the physical and chemical conditions within landfills promote anaerobic decomposition, leading to CH4 emissions. The release of methane into the [[air]] accelerates the process of climate change (De et al., 2024). CH4 released during the decomposition of solid waste sector currently accounts for over 20 per cent of Colombia's total CH4 emissions (CATF, 2024).

-CH4 is a greenhouse gas whose global warming potential is 80 times than that of CO2 over the first 20 years after release. CH4 itself does not typically pose a direct health hazard, but at high concentrations it may limit O2 availability.

-Furthermore, as a precursor, CH₄ is a reactive gas that promotes the formation of tropospheric ozone, which is a hazardous atmospheric pollutant with potentially lethal effects on human health and public wellbeing (De et al., 2024).
