Assessment of Emissions of Specific Compounds from a Resource Recovery Municipal Refuse Incinerator

摘要

This study was conducted as a part of a nationwide survey to determine organic emissions from major stationary combustion sources. The principal compounds of interest were polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated aromatic compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). This report describes an assessment of emissions from a resource recovery municipal refuse incinerator.
