戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯為持久性有機污染物的主要成份之一，因其具有劇毒性、半數致死劑量極低，大氣中之戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯易經由乾溼沉降作用進入生態系統中，而造成生物放大作用及生物濃縮作用。環境中之戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯主要來源為人類活動，包括廢棄物焚化、發電、能源工業及一些高溫之金屬冶煉與化工製程，本研究目的為都市固體廢棄物焚化爐在焚化時會產生含有戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯之廢氣，藉由空氣汙染防治設備(半乾式洗滌塔、活性碳噴注及袋式集塵器)來去除廢氣中之戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯，並探討空氣污染防治設備對於不同含氯數之去除效率及總去除效率。
研究結果顯示，對於煙道廢氣粒狀污染物，半乾式洗滌塔去除率為39.8%，活性碳噴注+袋式集塵器去除率為97.35%，整個空氣污染防治設備去除率為98.25%。對於煙道廢氣中戴奧辛/呋喃而言，以毒性觀點論之，半乾式洗滌塔去除率為30.65%，活性碳噴注+袋式集塵器去除率為99.0%，整個空氣污染防治設備去除率為99.35%，由煙道廢氣之特徵剖面圖來看，戴奧辛/呋喃之毒性主要由1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD、OCDD、1,2,3,4,6,7,8,-HpCDF、OCDF所貢獻。對於煙道廢氣中多氯聯苯而言，以毒性觀點論之，半乾式洗滌塔去除率為41.55%，活性碳噴注+袋式集塵器去除率為95.9%，整個空氣污染防治設備去除率為97.85%，由煙道廢氣之特徵剖面圖來看，多氯聯苯之毒性主要由PCB-77、PCB-118所提供。
此研究所測得之空氣污染防治設備對於戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯去除效率，可與其他廠之焚化爐進行比對，以加強及制定相關策略來降低焚化過程中戴奧辛/呋喃及多氯聯苯之排放量。

Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are the main compounds of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). PCDD/Fs and PCBs both have high toxicity, low median lethal dosage (LD50). PCDD/Fs and PCBs in atmosphere were easily transferred into ecosystem by dry and wet deposition, and cause biomagnification and bioconcentration. The main sources of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in environment include waste incineration, power generation, energy industry, mental smelting and some chemical industry. In this study, we focused on the removal efficiencies of PCDD/Fs and PCBs using air pollution control techniques, such as semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection, and fabric filter in the stack flue gases of municipal solid wastes incinerator (MSWI).
In this study, the removal efficiency of particles for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 39.8%, 97.35% and 98.25%, respectively. The removal efficiency of total-PCDD/Fs-TEQ for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 30.65%, 99.0% and 99.35%, respectively. According to PCDD/Fs congener profiles, OCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD were highly dominant in PCDDs parts, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF were mainly in PCDFs parts in stack flue gas. The removal efficiency of total-PCBs-TEQ for semi-dry sorbent injection, activated carbon injection and fabric filter, whole air pollution control devices were 41.55%, 95.9% and 97.85%, respectively. According to PCBs congener profiles, PCB-77 was main species, followed by PCB-118 in stack flue gas.
The results of removal efficiency in this study can compared with others incinerators, and develop relevant strategies to reduce the emission of PCDD/Fs and PCBs during incineration process.
