Emission measurements at 4 Dutch hospital waste incinerators show dioxin concentrations in the flue-gas from 70 to 460 ng I-TEQ/m3 (101,3 kPa, 273 degrees K, dry 11 % O2). The emission of dioxins from hospital waste incinerators is high compared with the emission of dioxins from Dutch municipal waste incinerators. Hospital waste was incinerated in the Netherlands by about 25 hospitals in august 1991. The quantity of hospital waste incinerated in the Netherlands by hospitals, for the situation till august 1991, was about 4275 tons/year. The emission of dioxins caused by the incineration of this waste was about 5 g I-TEQ/year. With reference to the results of the measurements 3 of the 4 measured hospital waste incinerators are closed now, the 4th installation was already closed before the results of the measurements became known. The quantity of hospital waste incinerated by hospitals is decreased to about 675 tons/year in june 1992. By closing these installation the emission of dioxins by hospital waste incinerators is decreased to 2 g I-TEQ/year in june 1992.
