How far should a land fill site where methane gas and carbon monoxide is present be from a residential area?
That is difficult to answer, as it always depends on the concentrations. Since both methane and carbon monoxide are gases it is unlikely that the will linger for long on the land fill site.
Here some guidelines towards measured concentration and their acceptability:
CO
Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 25 ppm as TWA BEI issued (ACGIH 2006).
MAK: 30 ppm 35 mg/m³ Peak limitation category: II(1); Pregnancy risk group: B; (DFG 2006).
CH4
TLV: (aliphatic hydrocarbons gases, Alkane C1-C4) 1000 ppm (as TWA) (ACGIH 2005).
MAK not established.
The more dangerous of the two is clearly CO (carbon monoxide). CH4 is lighter than air and will proceed straight up to the sky.

What are Pluto's minor and major gases?
Pluto's minor gases include methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. Its major gas is nitrogen, which makes up the majority of its thin atmosphere.
When methane burns in the presence of insufficient oxygen the products of the reaction include carbon monoxide?
When methane burns in the presence of insufficient oxygen, incomplete combustion occurs, leading to the formation of carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is produced due to the partial oxidation of methane in limited oxygen supply. This reaction is less favorable as it produces a toxic gas, unlike complete combustion which forms carbon dioxide.
What is the poisonous gas formed when methane burns in a limited supply of air?
Carbon monoxide is the poisonous gas formed when methane burns in a limited supply of air.
Are frozen nitrogen methane and carbon monoxide Pluto's metals?
No. While frozen methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen do exist on Pluto, they are not metals.
What gases are contained in the products of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete combustion means burning in a lack of air (not enough oxygen). If there is not enough oxygen available for all the carbon to turn into carbon dioxide (complete combustion), then some or all of the carbon turns to carbon monoxide. This happens with any hydrocarbon - we shall take methane as an example. During incomplete combustion methane gas burns with a yellow flame (unlike the clear blue flame seen in complete combustion). Carbon particles (sooty marks) may also be seen. methane + oxygen carbon monoxide + water. 2CH4(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO(g) + 4H2O(l)
What are Pluto's minor and major gases?
Pluto's minor gases include methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. Its major gas is nitrogen, which makes up the majority of its thin atmosphere.
What is the name of the gas found in the air after methane has been burnt?
If it a complete combustion, there would be only carbon dioxide and water vapor present. Otherwise, carbon monoxide may present too.
What gases make a comet?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ammonia.
If a fossil fuel burns without enough oxygen which of these products will be produced?
Carbon monoxide and methane

What gasses are found on Pluto?
Nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide.
How might Carbon dioxide methane carbon monoxide cause climatic changes?
Yes
What is the poisonous gas formed when methane burns in a limited supply of air?
Carbon monoxide is the poisonous gas formed when methane burns in a limited supply of air.
Is carbon monoxide the same as natural gas?
No, carbon monoxide and natural gas are different substances. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas formed when there is incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, while natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane that is used as a source of energy.
What are the major gases of pluto?

Are frozen nitrogen methane and carbon monoxide Pluto's metals?
No. While frozen methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen do exist on Pluto, they are not metals.
How might carbon dioxide methane acme carbon monoxide cause climate changes?
