Review of organic emissions from selected combustion processes
The 309 organic compounds reported in the literature as emissions from selected combustion processes are tabulated, with 109 originating from coal combustion, 213 from waste incineration and 69 from coal/refuse combustion. The largest percentage of components have been reported to be present in the grate ash from coal combustion, in the stack emissions from waste incineration and in the fly ash from coal/refuse combustion. Quantitative data for specific compounds are very incomplete, even for the more common components such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls.
