- Abstract
The article discusses the effect of addition of sodium hydroxide and calcium nitrate on polycylic aromatic hydrocarbon emission from benzene incineration. Waste organic solvents can damage human health due to their great toxicity. In Taiwan, most solvents are disposed of through incineration. However, if this is done without proper combustion control, products of incomplete combustion such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot will be generated. They will either be collected as part of bottom and fly ashes or emitted into the atmosphere. They may pollute the atmosphere or contaminate soil and underground water, if proper treatment is not enforced.
