Pyrolysis and combustion of oils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls and tri- and tetrachlorobenzenes
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6910029
Since the 1981 fire at the New York State Office Building in Binghamton, production of polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) from fires in utility transformers containing askarels has been a national concern. The present report examines fires involving transformer fluids contaminated with lower levels of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or tri/tetrachlorobenzene (TCB), showing that such fires would produce far less PCDF and PCDD than would askarel fires. 16 figs., 29 tabs.
