The paper reports concerns over the extent of landfill gas and leachate generation in landfill sites 
in Thailand, where landfill is the principal form of waste disposal. MSW was treated aerobically 
prior to being sealed in lysimeters under anaerobic conditions, watered according to typical rainfall 
conditions in of the region over a period of four months and analysed for methane and leachate generation. 
In comparison with untreated waste subjected to the same conditions, aerobic pre-treatment reduced 
both methane generation and leachate.
