The impact of the emissions from a municipal Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant in Northern Italy on local air quality was assessed using CALMET-CALPUFF atmospheric dispersion modelling system. Model simulations were based hourly emission rates measured by continuous stack monitoring systems and considered both quality-regulated pollutants (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, toxic elements, benzo(a)pyrene), other trace typical WtE plants (dioxins, furans, mercury). model results compared to...
ABSTRACT The present work outlines the main results of a full-scale study conducted on utilization waste tires as auxiliary fuel in cement production. Experimental tests were for determining influence shredded combustion conditions, emissions produced, and characteristics clinker obtained, feeding ratios over 35% terms total heat input. addition tire chips did not lead to any appreciable modification either whole process or quality produced; gaseous mostly unaffected, with significant...
Measurement campaigns for airborne particles along a pedestrian route in the city center of Milan were performed by means portable instrument consisting an optical particle counter and global positioning system (GPS) signal receiver. Based on size-resolved number concentration data proper density factors experimentally determined urban area, mass concentrations calculated terms particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters < or =10 microm (PM10), =2.5 pm (PM2.5), =1 (PM1). Besides directly...
Laboratory batch and column leaching tests of fly ash from MSW incineration have shown that heavy metals in ashes collected dry or spray acid removal systems using lime are much more soluble than the same without added lime. Much increase solubility can be ascribed to presence chlorides. In particular nearly all lead, cadmium, copper zinc is released at pH 5 acetic gas cleaning residues while only about a third alone. Substantial fractions lead even high pHs residues.

In recent decades there has been an intense debate about the impact of waste-to-energy (WTE) plant emissions on air quality, and therefore public health. Currently available data from inventories show negligible waste incineration quality. A number assessment studies are currently too. few them site-specific, but none makes a direct comparison between local WTE other “common” sources (such as vehicles domestic heating) perceived less potentially hazardous in opinion. This paper examines...
