00:00Sections of India's largest landfill burst into flames recently, adding to the country's
00:08growing climate challenges.
00:10Authorities say the massive inferno burned for almost 24 hours in late April, causing
00:15a thick, hazardous haze.
00:17Officials say plumes of toxic smoke continued to billow from the smoldering trash pile at
00:23the methane-filled site, even after the flames were brought under control.
00:27According to local news reports, residents living nearby complained of throat and eye
00:31irritation due to the lingering acrid air.
00:35Fire officials say while the cause of the fire remains unknown, landfill fires are often
00:40triggered by combustible gases from the decaying waste.
00:43Besides being indicators of India's waste management issues, the landfill fires also
00:47contribute significantly to the country's air pollution.
00:51According to local leaders, the toxic fumes the landfills sent out include carbon dioxide,
00:56carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and furans.
