We set up information about Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) level in flue gas, ambient air, banyan leaves and soil nearby Muzha MSWI, located in the north of Taiwan. Total PCDD/F I-TEQ concentrations in flue gas are 0.0995, 0.0711ng I-TEQ/Nm3, respectively, in spring, autumn, all below the emission limit regulated by Taiwan EPA, 0.1ng I-TEQ/Nm3 . The mean PCDD/F concentrations in ambient air nearby Muzha MSWIs are 0.0283, 0.0357, 0.0391 and 0.05638pg I-TEQ/Nm3, respectively at four seasons. The mean PCDD/F concentrations in banyan leaves nearby are 3.86, 0.873ng I-TEQ/kg, respectively in spring, autumn. The mean PCDD/F concentrations in soil nearby are 1.733, 2.061ng I-TEQ/kg, respectively in spring, autumn, much lower than the emission limit in soil regulated by Taiwan EPA, 1000ng I-TEQ/kg. By comparing the PCDD/F concentration of sample at upwind and downwind sampling sites, the PCDD/F influence from Muzha MSWI on nearby ambient air, vegetation and soil is not obvious.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
