Landfills refer to the locations destined for dumping garbage, rubbish, or other kinds of solid wastes. They are the most general means of disposing of solid waste that is either left to pile in heaps or are buried. One of the most drastic effects of landfills is air pollution and its negative influences on the atmosphere.  

There are more than ten toxic gases discharged from the landfills, of which methane is the most harmful gas. The methane gas is generated during the procedure of organic matter decay, it has the tendency to trap solar radiation twenty times more efficiently in comparison to carbon dioxide.  

The consequence is enhanced global and urban temperatures. Apart from methane gas, other agricultural and household chemicals, like ammonia and bleach can produce toxic gases, which can majorly influence the quality of air within the locality of the landfill.  

Particulate matter, dust, and other non-chemical contaminate can also be expelled into the atmosphere, thus, further donating to air quality complications.

galina1969 [7]

I'm afraid none of those is correct. The correct option would be subspecies. Subspecies are different variations, one could say, of a same organism.
