Garg, S

The EPA's Office of Solid Waste is developing amendments to regulations for hazardous-waste incinerators. OSW is gathering additional data relative to these amendments. Several issues arose during development of the amended regulations that required this data gathering. The issues related to control device efficiency for particulate and toxic metals and to the use of total hydrocarbon monitors to measure organic emissions. This report describes the field tests at a hazardous-waste incinerator that is part of this data-gathering effort. The types of data collected during this test are particulate emissions, particle size, selected toxic-metals emissions and their control device efficiency, and organic emissions.
