English Abstract The results of the emission measurements at the
municipal solid waste incinerator in Zaandam show that during this period
the Directive 'Incineration 1989' has been exceeded. The emission of
chlorinated dioxins and furans from this installation has to be considered
as high. The yearly emission of these compounds is estimated to be at least
52 g TEQ/year, however the emission might be some factors high. According
to distribution measurements this emission contributes considerably to the
yearly mean deposition in the direct surroundings, viz. average 16 (6-23)
ng TEQ/(m2.year) on an area of 20x20 km2 and maximum 57 (31-75) ng
TEQ/(m2.year) at 700 m North-East of the installation. This deposition
might also be some factors higher. At this moment there is still a lack of
knowledge about further behaviour, which makes it impossible to calculate
the concentration in the milk of cows in the
neighbourhood.
