Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program. Evaluation of Multiple Incinerator Air Quality Impacts Edgewood Area Aberdeen Proving Ground

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term additive ambient impact of certain toxic air pollutants that will potentially be emitted from Chemical Agent Incinerator (AI) proposed for the Edgewood Area (EA) of Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland and from three additional planned or existing incinerators also located on the EA. this impact was determined in consideration of the existence and operation of three additional planned or existing incinerators also located on EA. Based on air dispersion modeling conducted as part of an original analysis, emissions of chlorinated organics from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Chemical Research, Development and Engineering Center Decontamination/Detoxification Municipal Waste Incinerator (MWI), for downwind distances as great as the distance to the nearest boundary of the EA. Consequently, for this evaluation, only the MWI is considered to emit chlorinated organics.
