The Waste Analysis, Sampling, Testing and Evaluation (WASTE) Program: The effect of waste stream characteristics on municipal solid waste incineration: the fate and behaviour of trace metals : Volume I:...En49-4/3-10E

The Waste Analysis, Sampling, Testing, and Evaluation (WASTE) Program was a study initiated in June, 1991 to determine the physical and chemical composition of the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream entering the Burnaby Energy-from-Waste Facility. In addition, the study examined the environmental availability of trace metals in selected components of the waste to assess the potential environmental behaviour of these materials under various waste management options. The study also examined the fate and behaviour of cadmium and lead compounds during incineration through experiments involving the addition of highly concentrated materials to the waste fed into an incinerator.--Abstract
