English Abstract Emission measurements at the municipal solid waste
incinerator (MSW) AVI-Roosendaal show an average dioxin concentration in the
stack gas of 14 ng TEQ/Nm3 (dry, 11% oxygen) at normal operation of the
installation. This concentration is considered to be low for this type of
installation when compared with other types of MSWs in the Netherlands. The
yearly emission of dioxins from this installation is estimated at 1,4 g TEQ.
According to dispersion model calculations this emission only has a small
contribution to the yearly mean deposition in the surroundings, viz. on
average 0,3 ng TEQ/(m2.year) over an area of 20x20 km2 with a maximum of
2,7 ng TEQ/(m2.year) at 1.100 m North-East of the installation.
Background depositions are estimated at 10 ng TEQ/(m2.year). Direct danger
for public health is not expected and determination of dioxin levels in
grass and soil in this area is not recommended.
