Abstract

The sector of sintering plants, in the European Union, is considered today one of the major potential contributors to the atmospheric release of dioxin and consequent depositions. The emissions of a plant depend on many factors: characteristics of the input, sintering process, prevention and removal of dioxin from the gaseous stream. The local impact of a plant depends also on the variability of release through diffused emissions, secondary emissions and conveyed gases, as each stream can be related to a different way of dilution into the atmosphere. The high variability of parameters that can affect the local impact from a sintering plant makes it interesting the adoption of deposimeters in order to understand the human exposure in the surroundings. The present paper refers to an Italian case-study whose deposition was measured using a deposimeter placed in a selected site. The obtained values are discussed taking into account seasonality and operativity of the plant.
