Dioxin sampling – A long term view
1) Introduction The expansion of the number of processes requiring measurement of emitted dioxins and the release of a new CEN Standard - EN 1948 - will significantly alter the market for instrumentation. Within the EU, individual member states will implement their own strategies for process approval based on dioxin sampling. However, typically processes are assessed quarterly, biannually or ...

The math behind long-term dioxin sampling
Can I let you in on a secret? Your current method of measuring dioxins is probably not giving you the whole picture about your dioxin emissions. A typical waste incineration plant will run for about 8000 hours per year. Many waste incineration plants are still using the old method of periodic sampling. With periodic sampling, dioxins are only measured for 6-8 hours at a time. You don’t need ...

Gasmet GT90 Dioxin+ Is an Effective Solution for Dioxin Sampling
In this article we introduce you to the world of continuous dioxin monitoring and the Gasmet GT90 Dioxin+, which is an exceptionally robust dioxin sampling system. Did you know that it was designed to sample even the lowest dioxin and dioxin-like compound concentrations in harsh industrial environments, even in subfreezing conditions? In addition to dioxins, the system is capable of measuring ...

Importance of long-term sampling in dioxin monitoring
Dioxins and POPs are toxic, persistent, and nowadays ubiquitously present in our environment. Gasmet GT90 Dioxin+ is an exceptionally robust dioxin sampling system that was designed to sample even the lowest concentrations in harsh industrial environments and even subfreezing conditions. Dioxin is an umbrella name for polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. They ...

WI BAT conclusions finally published – key findings
The final draft of the Best Available Technology Reference document for Waste Incineration (WI BREF) was accepted by European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau (EIPPCB) on summer 2019 and the WI BAT conclusions published on 3rd December 2019, under the IED Directive 2010/75/EU. This BAT conclusions covers the incineration and co-incineration of waste, including the following ...

Trending Emissions Monitoring
Industrial emissions within the European Union are governed by the Industrial Emissions Directive, the IED. It is a framework directive largely relying on industry-specific reference documents on best available techniques, BREFs. The BREF for waste incinerators (WI) was revised during the 2010s and a new version became effective in December 2019. The expectations on industrial emissions control ...

Long-term sampling - A method for continuous emission monitoring of dioxins/furans and mercury
Introduction The continuous emission monitoring of the different compounds which are emitted by industrial facilities is an important topic to approve the compliance to different regulations like WID. However, there are several compounds which cannot be measured in real time. Specific dioxins/furans (PCCD/PCDF) and other POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) cannot be measured by online monitors. ...

Long-term Sampling of Dioxin and Carbon Dioxide
New regulations such as the European “Waste Incineration BAT Conclusions” (read more on that in this blog article) call for long-term sampling of "polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans" (PCCD/F), but let's call it "dioxin" for simplicity. An isokinetic sample is taken from the duct and dioxin is trapped in an absorbing material. Special material has to be used and the sampler which ...

New developments in long-term sampling of dioxins
Introduction The emissions of Dioxins and Furans (Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins and Dibenzofurans, PCDF/Ds) from industrial sources are still one of the most important issues discussed in public, politics and industry. Due to the fact that environmental regulations are on the way to be harmonised in the EU countries, the measurements of those compounds in the stack gas of e. g. waste ...

Advances in analytical techniques for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans and dioxin-like PCBs
Abstract Analytical techniques for the determination of polychorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) and dioxin-like PCBs (DLPCB) are reviewed. The focus of the review is on recent advances in methodology and analytical procedures. The paper also reviews toxicology, the development of toxic equivalent factors (TEF) and the determination of toxic equivalent ...

Levels of dioxins in soil and corn tissues after 30 years of biosolids application
Detectable levels of dioxins have been reported in biosolids, but very little information is available on the effect of long-term application of biosolids on dioxins accumulation in soil and uptake by plants. We analyzed dioxins in soil and corn tissue samples from field plots after 30 continuous applications of biosolids at 0 (Control), 16.8, and 67.2 Mg biosolids ha−1 yr−1 resulting ...

Polytopic vector analysis of soil, dust, and serum samples to evaluate exposure sources of PCDD/Fs
As part of the University of Michigan Dioxin Exposure Study, soil, household dust, and serum samples were collected from over 750 households in five populations around the city of Midland and in Jackson and Calhoun Counties, Michigan, USA. Polytopic vector analysis, a type of receptor model, was applied to better understand the potential sources of polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and ...

How can industrial regulations be improved to avoid any potential emissions reporting scandal (Avoiding a VW type scandal)
The VW automotive emissions testing scandal has signifi cant environmental implications due to the mismatch between expected and actual emissions of NOX . Many consider that the ultimate responsibility lies with VW on the issue, however it is important to consider the role of the regulator in supporting an industry backed testing regime which does not absolutely refl ect actual emissions. While ...
