ESTIMATES OF GROUND-LEVEL TSP, SO2 AND HCI FOR A MUNICIPAL WASTE INCINERATOR TO BE LOCATED AT TYNES BAY BERMUDA Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The computer model Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST) was used to study the stack emissions from a refuse Incinerator proposed for the island of Bermuda. The model predicts that the highest ground level pollutant concentrations will occur near Prospect, 800 m to 1000 m due south of the stack. We Installed a portable laboratory and Instruments at Prospect to begin making air quality baseline measurements. By comparing the models estimates of the incinerator contribution to the background levels measured at the site we predict that stack emissions will not cause an increase In TSP or S02. The incinerator will be a significant source of HCI to Bermuda air with ambient levels approaching air quality guidelines. 1991, Air & Waste Management Association.
