The purpose of this multipollutant, multimedia study was to determine levels of contaminants in the ambient air, soil, sediment, water and agricultural products attributable to operation of the municipal waste combustor (MWC) in Rutland, Vermont. Samples were collected between October 1987 and February 1989 at or near locations predicted to have maximum deposition. he measured pollutant concentrations could not be correlated with the emissions or operation of the MWC. vidence for this conclusion comes from both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the measured pollutant concentrations in the ambient air and environmental media, as well as comparison with predicted ambient air concentrations of the pollutants using local meteorologic information.
