More than 1,700 PCDD/F emissions test runs were analyzed to determine the relationship between PCDD/F emissions and chlorine in waste combustion systems. Using data assembled from the study, dioxin concentrations measured at commercial installations were plotted against appropriate chlorine measurements to display the relationship that exists between dioxin and chlorine. Statistical analyses were also performed to determine if chlorine affects either the character of quantity of PCDD/Fs. Data from hazardous and municipal waste combustors, biomass combustors, and medical waste incinerators were analyzed. Available data indicated that there is no strong relationship between feed chlorine and stack PCDD/F concentrations.
