ABSTRACT
Congener specific polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) data from the stack gas of nine Korean municipal waste incinerators was used to determine characteristic congener patterns of emitted PCBs. Principal component analysis revealed three classes of incinerators according to their pattern of PCB congener emissions those resembling the background sampling material; those producing large quantities of a few tetra-chlorinated congeners; those producing large proportions of mono (MO-) and non-ortho (NO-) congeners relative to di-ortho (DO-) levels. Also, correlations between individual PCB congeners and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) were discovered for several NO-PCBs and tetra and penta chlorinated PCDFs. Full PCB congener data is presented along with operating conditions for each incinerator.
