ABSTRACT
Incineration is one of the most common technologies for waste disposal [1]. The number of incineration plants in Europe has been constantly rising in the last years, in the effort to manage and treat an ever-increasing waste production according to the EU directives and minimizing landfill disposal [2]. As waste incineration releases in the atmosphere chemicals that are potentially toxic [3], there is increasing public concern about the possible adverse effects on human health caused by this waste management technology [4, 5].
