Abstract
The releases of polychlorinated dibenzopdioxins and dibenzofurans PCDD/Fs from waste incinerators and thermal processes were investigated The characteristics of mean PCDD/Fs ITEQ concentrations and congener profiles were studied over the samples of water soil fly ash and bottom ash of individual source The TEQ value for fly ash ranges from 0013 to 1701 pgTEQ/g Moreover the TEQ value for bottom ash was 1206 pgTEQ/g and the TEQ values for the water samples were found to be in a consistent range from 041056 ngTEQ/L In almost all the analyzed matrices the congener OCDD/OCDF was found in highest concentration raising the critical concerns over the overall PCDD/Fs emissions from incinerations and thermal processes
