English Abstract This report contains information on air emissions by
municipal solid waste incineration in the Netherlands. This information is
based on measurements, carried out by TNO, between March 1990 and January
1991. The purpose of this report is to present broadly accepted emission
figures, as a base for emission studies. Emission factors for components in
the stackgas have been derived expressed in grams per ton of waste. In 1985
2.45 million tons of municipal waste were incinerated and in 1990, 2.7
million tons. In 1995, 2000 and 2010 waste incineration will amount to 4.3,
7.1 and 8.4 million tons, successively.
