Air Pollution known modern incinerator stack emissions
- Dioxins/Furans (persistent organic pollutants)
- PFAS/PFOAS
- Heavy Metals (including Mercury, Lead, Cadmium)
- Volatile organic compounds(VOCs)
- Acidic gases - sulphur dioxide, hydrochloric acid
- Fine particulate matter
- nitrogen oxides
The make up of the stack emissions with incineration are known to be variable, with emissions being more substantial during start up and shut down periods, when the incinerator is not operating at optimum temperature and with some feedstock variations. This is evident in multiple violations in England with respects to incinerator emissions.
Veolia via EMM consulting through the review of the EPA Waste to Energy framework are already lobbying to have laxer policies to allow “small quantities of items such as batteries, light globes and electronics”. Will this change the make up of the stack emissions?
Consider the below plume plot showing where these toxic particles will land over a prime agricultural zone extending towards Lake George and Canberra.
