This book is based on the papers delivered at the First International Congress on Toxic Combustion By-Products: Formation and Control held at the University of California, Los Angeles, August 26-29, 1989. The topics explored include areas critical to the development of advanced designs of combustion devices and new control strategies, and to the development and implementation of appropriate government regulations. The papers focus particularly on combustion of waste. This is in response to public concern about further degradation of the environment, long-term health effects, and the popular pe

This informative publication provides an introduction to the public health implications of hazardous waste incineration. The complexities involved in defining, measuring, and regulating the nation’s hazardous waste are discussed, as well as brief descriptions of the hazardous waste incineration process. Summaries of the data base for the incinerator test burns conducted by or for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are presented, along with a description of the four components of risk analysis, sample calculations of both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health risk estimates, an

This much-needed book provides an enlightening perspective on the environmental and human health impacts of municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration. Over 100 tables and figures allows speedy access to important data you will refer to again and again. The comprehensive text assesses the human health risks associated with exposure to facility emitted pollutants-especially the highly toxic dioxin. It includes an evaluation of multipathway (inhalation and food chain) exposures. This essential publication also evaluates facility emissions, plausible air concentrations, the potential for deposition
