Abstract

The issue of domestic waste neutralization appeared with human civilization but got new dimensions in the context of the present consumer society. The diversity and increasing quantity of domestic waste imposed finding new methods for its neutralization, grouped into two categories, namely recycling and recovery. In the category of domestic waste recovery methods, incineration is mentioned among others. The main drawback of the incineration process is air pollution, which is present when the implementation of gaseous pollutant retention solutions at the source generation is avoided. In order to identify the areas that are potential sources of pollution, the present paper focuses on the dispersion modelling of gaseous pollutants from domestic waste incineration.
