English Abstract The emission measurements at the municipal solid waste
incinerator (MSW) AVI-the Hague show an average concentration of 8,3 ng
TEQ/Nm3 (dry, 11% oxygen). The measured emission of chlorinated dioxins and
furans from this installation has to be considered low for this type of
installation in comparison with others in the Netherlands. The yearly
emission of these compounds is estimated to be 15 g TEQ/year from this
installation. According to dispersion model calculations this emission
contributes slightly to the yearly mean deposition in the direct
surroundings, viz. on average 2 (1-3) ng TEQ/(m2.year) on an area of 20x20
km2 and a maximum of 6 (5-8) ng TEQ/(m2.year) at 700 m North-East of the
installation. The background deposition is estimated at a level of 10 ng
TEQ/(m2.year). After closure of the MSW in Leiden this will be 5 ng
TEQ/(m2/year). There are no cows grazing in the vicinity of the deposition
maximum. Therefore there is no reason for determination of dioxin levels in
grass and soil in this area.
