Abstract
The report presents the results of testing, sampling and analysis of three resource recovery facilities burning municipal wastes for emissions of tetra chlorinated dioxins and furans in the flue gas. The stack emissions were analyzed by the EPA PTMAX dispersion model to determine maximum 1-hour ground level concentrations. A wide distribution of isomers were reported both for TCDDs and TCDFs. The most toxic 2378 TCDD isomer emissions from the stack ranged from 3.4 to 180 mg per ton of the fuel fired, while 2,378 TCDFs ranged from 22 to 1800 micrograms/ton.
