DPOP and NPOP together evaluate the risk posed to humans by fire at landfills. DPOP measures the distance between the 297 landfill and the nearest building used by people for residential‚ occupational‚ educational‚ or recreational purposes. DPOP 298 score is calculated using Equation 30. For distance greater than 3057 m‚ DPOP = 0. If the distance is 0‚ then maximum 299 DPOP = 4.613. 300 DPOP = 4.613 x exp(-0.0005 x distance) (30) 301 3.8 Population within 3 km radius (NPOP) 302 NPOP‚ as per Equation
