How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Landfill Gas Migration Explosions
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a critical but often overlooked application of IoT sensors: preventing underground gas migration from old landfills. When organic waste decomposes in a sealed landfill, it generates methane and carbon dioxide. That gas doesn't just stay put — it can migrate laterally through soil, accumulate in basements or utility vaults hundreds of feet away, and cause explosions.
