Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators
more garbage than any other nationover 160 million tons of garbage each year or more than 1,200 pounds per person. EPA expects this to increase to more than 2,300 pounds of garbage per person each year within the next 1 2 years. Whether it is recycled, buried or burned, the fate of this refuse has major impacts on public health, the environment and the economy. United States citizens generate W...
متن کاملDioxin concentrations in the blood of workers at municipal waste incinerators.
OBJECTIVES Increased concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDFs) in pooled blood samples from workers at municipal waste incinerators have been reported. This study was undertaken to confirm these results in individual blood samples from potentially exposed and unexposed workers at municipal waste incinerators compared with matched unex...
متن کاملMetals as Catalysts during the Formation and Decomposition of Chlorinated Dioxins and Furans in Incineration Processes.
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are found on fly ash and in flue gas of municipal waste incinerators. Municipal waste incinerators seem to be the most important source for PCDDs and PCDFs emitted into the air during the last decades. PCDD/F formation takes place in the cooler zones (250 °C-450 °C) of a municipal waste incinerator, at the elect...
متن کاملCONCENTRATIONS OF PCDDs, PCDFs AND PCBs IN SAMPLES OF BUTTER FROM 24 COUNTRIES
Introduction Residues of PCDD/Fs and PCBs present in butter may indicate the occurrence of these contaminants in pastureland on which cattle graze, and thus provide a useful environmental indicator of fluxes to pastures. These would have principally an atmospheric component although there are also other possible sources of contamination to pastures such as a water-based contribution from irriga...
متن کاملAir Pollution Control in Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators
Municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a major problem in modern societies, even though the significant efforts to prevent, reduce, reuse and recycle. At present, municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) in waste-to-energy (WtE) plants is one of the main management options in most of the developed countries. The technology for recovering energy from MSW has evolved over the years and now sophisti...
