Emission Testing of Hospital Pathological Incinerator, Griffiss Air Force Base, New York
Abstract
At the request of HQ SAC/SGPB, personnel from the USAFOEHL conducted an air emission survey of the exhaust from the hospital pathological incinerator at Griffiss AFB NY on 11 Dec 88. The survey results show that the facility is in compliance with the State of New York emission standards for particulate matter. The State has proposed revisions to the existing regulations and survey results show that the particulate and hydrogen chloride proposed emission standards would be met. The proposed regulations for minimum temperature values in the primary and secondary chambers would not be met. The facility is in compliance with the existing particulate matter standards and no further action is required. The facility is not in compliance with the proposed standards due to the temperatures in the primary and secondary chambers. Action is recommended to correct this situation, although, based on the proposed revision to the regulations, compliance will not be required until January 1, 1992. Keywords: Stack emission(s), Emission testing, Pathological incinerator, Incinerators.
