摘要: This work reports on the first known field study determining emission factors for polychlorinated and polybrominated dibenzodioxins/dibenzofurans (P[C/B]DDs/Fs) diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from open burning of domestic waste. Two waste dump sites in Mexico were sampled using high-volume samplers mounted to a mobile sampling boom. Concurrent measurements CO CO2 allowed determination via carbon balance method. PCDD/F averaged 823 ng toxic equivalency (TEQ)/kg Cburned (N = 8, 68% relative standard deviation, RSD), value at least five times higher than those previous tests with burned barrels approximately 2000 stacks modern municipal combustors. These appear be related combustion quality, as conditions conducive smoldering combustion, rather flaming resulted factors. Emissions 40 PBDE congeners, likely origin...
