Toxic emissions from crematories: a review.
In recent years, the cremation ratio of cadavers has increased dramatically in many countries. Crematories have been identified as sources of various environmental pollutants, being polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and mercury those raising most concern. In contrast to other incineration processes for which the number of studies on their toxic emissions is consider...
متن کاملCharacterizing the emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans from crematories and their impacts to the surrounding environment.
This study was set out to characterize PCDD/F emissions from crematories and assess their impacts on the surrounding environment. Two crematories located in southern Taiwan were investigated, including the one (C1) with no air pollution control device installed and the other (C2) installed with a bag filter. Results show the mean PCDD/F emissions (11% oxygen) from the stacks of Cl and C2 were 2...
متن کاملA multidisciplinary and multifactorial integrated approach for the understanding of the problem of the atmospheric mercury pollution
In the last decades the awareness of scientists, decision makers and citizens about the ubiquitous and toxic nature of mercury in the environment has considerably grown. The complexity of the environmental problem related to mercury is increased because of the volatile nature of this metal, which results in global dispersion through the atmosphere and deposition in the sea and freshwater bodies...
متن کاملSynthesis of graphene oxide-Melamine – TioOxalic acid nanocomposite and its application in the elimination of Mercury (II) ions
In this study a new method by Application of graphene oxide Nano sheets– Melamine –TioOxalic acid composite was exhibited as adsorbent for the elimination of toxic mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The combine has the authority to adsorb the organic and inorganic combines. Through the immobilization of Melamine-TioOxalic acid (MTO) onto graphene oxide nanosheets, the desired composite w...
