Environmental assessments were performed at five different waste-to-energy conversion systems. Emissions were characterized from refuse pyrolysis, a municipal incinerator fired with solid waste, a power plant boiler fired with wood waste and fuel oil, a steam boiler fired with coal and densified refuse derived fuel, and a power boiler fired with refuse derived fuel. Emission levels of criteria pollutants and particulates were similar to those associated with conventional fuel combustion. (2 diagrams)
