This study was conducted as a part of a nationwide survey to determine organic emissions from major stationary combustion sources. The principal compounds of interest are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and chlorinated aromatic compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). This report describes the methods and results of sampling and analysis activities at the seven plants constituting the nationwide survey of coal fired utility boiler plants.
