Abstract:
Three laboratories participated in a PCDD and PCDF sampling experiment on the stack of a municipal waste incinerator and six laboratories examined a fly ash sample for PCDDS and PCDFS in order to assess analytical precision.
The flue gas sampling results are in agreement for the three laboratories and show that the PCDDS and PCDFS are predominantly in the gas phase, whereas emitted particulate account for 20% of the total PCDD/PCDF concentration.
