Researchers have developed CAIRN, a machine-learning framework designed to predict fugitive emissions from landfills in real-time. By analyzing meteorological data and historical patterns, CAIRN can forecast the release of gases like hydrogen sulfide and methane, enabling proactive public health interventions. The system's ability to track both short-term wind transport and longer-term weather changes allows for a tiered alert system that aligns with WHO odor guidance, providing authorities with a graded trigger for action.
