Abstract

The case of the evolution of domestic solid waste generated by human activities in the city of Baghdad and characterization of waste can be retrieved study.
This study included determining the composition of municipal solid waste in the city of Baghdad with the calculated density and the percentage of generation per person per day of these residues .
It also recorded the amount of gas flowing out of the landfill , which escalated into the air daily ones, which scientists believe that there is a certain between the observed increase in global warming and the increase in the amount of this landfill gases.
The overall findings of this study indicate that the amount of waste generation per person in the city of Baghdad during January months and February and September and October 2012 about (0.8 kg / person / day), as this current study demonstrated that the waste density inside the truck waste transfer from residential areas (312kg / m3) ... but the show beyond any doubt that CBS this waste in the manufacturing process stations piston with a force of some ( 70 tons ) causes an increase in the density of this waste from (312 kg / m3)to (570 kg / m3) that any waste density increase by about 83% after composting .The results also showed a comparison using the default method (Default method) that the amount of methane gas emitted total of all landfill sites in the city of Baghdad (54.370 Ggm / gr) which leads to the possibility of producing approximately ( 3.4496 billion kWh ) electricity annually.
