Monthly Incinerator Statistics 2014

In accordance with legal notice 336 of 2001 Waste Management (Incineration) Regulations (transposing EU Directive 2000/76/EC on incineration) the operator is required to carry out the following continuous measurements of air pollutants:
 
     - Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
     - Carbon Monoxide (CO) 
     - Total Dust
     - Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) 
     - Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
     - Total Hydrocarbon (THC)
     - Hydrogen Fluoride (HF)
     - Ammonia (NH3)

The daily average air emission limit values in the regulations are reproduced in Table 1.
