Air Pollution Controls at Braintree Incinerator

Incinerator Air Pollution: Facts and Speculation

The authors are to be commended for their work. They have pointed out areas requiring investigation that, when completed, will enable the design of incinerators to be upgraded so that particulate emis­ sions from the furnace can be minimized. This is a valuable contribution to the incinerator field. In arriving at a mean emission factor of 24 lb per ton, the authors admit to biasing the data in...

Comparative Assessment of Particulate Air Pollution Exposure from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Emissions

BACKGROUND Research to date on health effects associated with incineration has found limited evidence of health risks, but many previous studies have been constrained by poor exposure assessment. This paper provides a comparative assessment of atmospheric dispersion modelling and distance from source (a commonly used proxy for exposure) as exposure assessment methods for pollutants released fro...

[Health impact assessment of pollution from incinerator in Modugno (Bari)].

OBJECTIVES the purpose of this study is to assess the potential health impact of the start-up of a new incinerator in general population living near the facility in Modugno, province of Bari (Puglia Region, Italy), in combination with the existent Combined-Cycle combustion Gas Turbine (CCGT) power generation facility. DESIGN an algorithm was used to calculate the number of cases (deaths and h...
