“…In addition, the total PCDD/F I-TEQ emissions had adverse health effects on employees in the affected workplaces during the treatment process (Wang et al, 2003a;Wang et al, 2010a). Moreover, the Waelz process increased the fraction of low-chlorinated congeners, because it is more difficult to decompose the aromatic rings of PCDD/Fs than to dechlorinate from the high-chlorinated congeners to the lower ones Li et al, 2007c;Li et al, 2008;Shih et al, 2008;Shih et al, 2009;Yu et al, 2010;Chiu et al, 2011;Kuo et al, 2011). Therefore, the PCDD/F formation, emission, transportation, reduction and risk assessment for the Waelz process need to be evaluated, (Huang et al, 2011), and to treat EAF fly ash needs to be developed.…”
