Nanomaterial disposal by incineration
Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2013 As nanotechnology-based products enter into widespread use, nanomaterials will end up in disposal waste streams that are ultimately discharged to the environment. One possible end-of-life scenario is incineration. This review attempts to ascertain the potential pathways by which nanomaterials may enter incinerator waste streams and the fate of these ...

The health impacts of waste-to-energy emissions: a systematic review of the literature
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Waste-to-energy (WtE) processes, or the combustion of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for energy generation, has the potential to reduce landfill volume while providing a renewable energy source. We aimed to systematically review and summarise current evidence

On the emission of ultra fine particles from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nationally approved emission factors of mass versus particle size for particulate emissions from UK MSW incinerators when converted to particle number versus size, indicate that nearly all (>90\%) of the emitted particles are ultra fine particles (ufps) < .1 micron in size. A similar result is true also of US MSW incinerators emissions.

From Plastic Waste to Treasure: Selective Upcycling through Catalytic Technologies [PDF]
, 2023 The huge amount of plastic wastes has become a pressing global environmental problem, leading to severe environmental pollution and resource depletion through conventional downcycling technologies like incineration and landfilling. In contrast, selective upcycling of various plastics offers a promising solution for converting waste plastics into ...
