摘要
Health risk estimates are presented for incineration of the principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) of waste streams. Preliminary results indicate that both the carcinogenic and the noncarcinogenic risks to populations living near incinerators are small. Further research is needed to confirm these results and to assess the human health risks from metals in waste streams and products of combustion formed during incineration.
