Abstract |
EPA is required to set emission standards for the 'other solid waste incinerators' (OSWI) category referenced under Section 129(a)(1)(E) of the amended Clearn Air Act. This caregory currently contains pathological waste incinerators and human cremtories. A representative pathological waste incinerator was tested to support the setting of these emission standards. The purpose of the work assignment was to test a pathological waste incinerator. The incinerator tested was the University of Georgia Animal Health Research Center's (AHRC) pathological waste (cattle and horses) incinerator. The test was conducted by EPA with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA DEP) observing. Under this work assignment, MRI tested for dioxons/furans, metals (Hg, Cd, and Pb), total particulate matter, HCl, NOx, SO2, and CO. The incinerator was evaluated with the secondary chamber temperature at one setting. |
