The collection and handling of biogas in covered anaerobic lagoons (CAL) from the bacterial degradation of meat processing wastewater is accompanied by a number of hazards, the most significant of which include:
- The formation of hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S), which is toxic
- The flammability of biogas when mixed with air in the appropriate proportions
- Suffocation due to the exclusion of air from especially confined spaces.
