English Abstract Emission measurements at the municipal solid waste
incinerator (MSWI) AVI-Philips in Eindhoven show an average dioxin
concentration in the stack gas of 7,7 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 MSWIs in
the Netherlands. The yearly emission of dioxins from this installation is
estimated at 1,1 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 0,2 ng TEQ/(m2.year) over an area of 20x20
km2 with a maximum of 1,9 ng TEQ/(m2,year) at 1.000 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.
