Rood, M J

The report describes the important aspects of municipal solid waste (MSW) combustion that should be considered by municipalities within the State of Illinois. Combustion of municipal solid waste is an important issue to municipalities because of the shortage of available landfill capacity in the State of Illinois. Discussion is focused on the description of typical types of MSW incinerators that are currently used throughout the United States, the pollutants that are generated by the facilities, air pollution control technologies, the influence of recycling on MSW incineration, applicable State of Illinois regulations, and an economic analysis of MSW incinerators.
