Objective . Here is a USEPA link that provides additional information to the course outlines: https://www.epa.gov/wastes/nonhaz/municipal/wte/basic.htm.

1. List at least three (3) major types of MSW incinerators and distinguish among them (e.g., based on their size/capacity or fuel types).

2. Primary concerns for MSW incinerators are air contamination from gases and fly ash and soil/water contamination from bottom ash. How can gases and fly/bottom ash emissions from an incinerator be monitored and controlled to limit environmental health concerns?

3. Do you think that the benefits of volume reduction and energy recovery from incineration of MSW outweigh the risks to air, soil and water quality? (Make sure that you clearly justify your answer.)
