Is One Village Able to Produce as Many Dioxins as a Big Waste Incineration Plant?

Original language description

Three large waste incineration plants incinerated c. 360 thousand tons of waste in 2009, during which time they emitted c. 40 mg of PCDD/F expressed as TEQ in flue gasses into the air. If heated by solid fuels only (c. 4 thousand tons of fuel), one average (hypothetical) village with two thousand inhabitants would emit c. 2 to 60 mg of PCDD/F expressed as TEQ in flue gasses into the air during the heating season. We can state that in term of PCDD/F emissions into the air, one village being heated with solid fuels has a potential to produce similar (in some cases even higher) amount of dioxins as a large waste incineration plant.
