Abstract
Since the mid-1970s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) has studied the incineration of hazardous waste. Early studies focused largely on the destruction and removal efficiencies of incinerators with respect to hazardous organic compounds and on the particulate removal efficiencies of air pollution control systems. In more recent years, attention has turned to the potential risks associated with stack emissions of carcinogenic and toxic metals from the incinerators. This article examines RREL pilot-scale research conducted at EPA's Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, AR. It is intended to serve as an overview and is based on a sample of the IRF studies in which metal partitioning was investigated.
