The flue gas emitted by waste incineration (here refers to incineration in incineration plants) contains heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium and mercury, e.

In addition to this integrated incineration, in suburban, rural and remote areas, there are also cases where open burning is used to solve the plastic probl.

The incineration of raw materials can pose serious health risks, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resulting in excessive dioxin emissio.

Whether incineration, or gasification, pyrolysis, and plasma arcs, thermal treatment of plastic waste can lead to POPs such as dioxins and PCBs, as well as lead, arsenic, mercury, and other heavy metals from the original constituents of plastic was.
