CONCENTRATION LEVELS OF C1-C10 HYDROCARBONS AND POLYHALOGENATED COMPOUNDS IN THE EMISSIONS OF SMALL HOUSEHOLD WASTE STOVES AND A HOSPITAL WASTE INCINERATOR.

The presence of C1 -C10 -hydrocarbons, aldehydes, polychlorinated dioxins and other polyhalogenated compounds was studied in the emissions from a small household waste stove and a hospital waste incinerator. The emissions factors per kg waste were several orders of magnitude higher than for conventional municipal waste incinerators.
