Assessment of inhalation and ingestion population exposures from incinerated hazardous wastes

Travis, C.C. / Holton, G.A. / Etnier, E.L. / Cook, C. / O'Donnell, F.R. / Hetrick, D.M. / Dixon, E.

Abstract This assessment makes a preliminary determination of the relative importance of the air and food chain pathways of human exposure to hazardous materials released from hazardous waste incineration facilities. Identical 4400 kw (150 × 10⁶ Btu/h) rotary kiln incinerators burning pesticide-related wastes were assumed to be sited in three different U.S. locations. Individual exposures resulting from incineration of the 10 most prevalent pesticide-related chemicals currently being incinerated in the U.S. were estimated. Results indicate that the food chain pathway may be an important contributor to total human exposure from incineration of hazardous wastes.
