Gas protection involves preventing or managing the intrusion of dangerous gases into structures. Methane and carbon dioxide are primary concerns due to their flammability and toxicity. Regulatory bodies in the UK collaborate to develop guidance for fortifying measures against these gases, originating from various sources like landfill sites and coal seams. Landfill gas, comprising mainly methane and carbon dioxide, poses unique challenges due to its variable density. Passive barriers and active systems like positive pressurization and forced ventilation are employed for gas protection. Gas detection, personal protective equipment, ventilation, emergency response plans, and gas analysis are essential aspects of gas protection, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
