Measurement of mutagenic emissions from the incineration of the pesticide Dinoseb during application of combustion modifications

The dinitroaromatic pesticide dinoseb was incinerated in a 0.6-MW (2,000,000 Btu/h) precombustion chamber burner/package boiler simulator that employed two combustion-modification technologies for NO sub(x) control, staged combustion, and/or reburning. The Salmonella) (Ames) mutagenicity assay was u...

Description
Summary:The dinitroaromatic pesticide dinoseb was incinerated in a 0.6-MW (2,000,000 Btu/h) precombustion chamber burner/package boiler simulator that employed two combustion-modification technologies for NO sub(x) control, staged combustion, and/or reburning. The Salmonella) (Ames) mutagenicity assay was used to monitor the effect of these control technologies on the mutagenicity of the particle-bound and semivolatile dichloromethane-extractable organics of the emissions.
