sectors/government
institutions achieved.
4. Monitoring programs in selected industrial sources
are designed and started as appropriate or practical
Monitoring programs designed
and applied to selected
industrial sources.
1. Thailand has developed
the Terms of Reference for
analysis/sampling
programs for the power
generation
and
metallurgical sectors as
part of a 1-year project on
the inventory of emissions
from the said sectors.
2. Lao PDR has initiated
discussions on sampling
programs with concerned
institutions.
3. China has done the
sampling
of
the
dioxin/furan releases in
several
medical
waste
incinerators, metallurgical
plants and open-burning
for verification of the
emission factors.
Mongolia has conducted
“Market study of Heat-Only
Boilers
and
Coal-Fired
Water Heaters” in April,
2009.
Thailand
has
doen
sampling/analysis
of
dioxin/furan releases from
the
power
generation
(classified by fuel types)
and metallurgical processes
(classified
by
thermal
processes)
and
has
developed
additional
sampling/analysis
programs for the power
generation
and
metallurgical sectors to
fulfil
information/data
gaps.
Ministry of Environment,
Republic of Indonesia has
initialled for developing
guideline
environmental
friendly industrial boilers
In
Indonesia,
several
cement kilns monitor their
dioxin/furan emission for
getting a permit to use
hazardous
waste
as
substitute material and or
substitute fuel (in general
term recognized as coprocessing)
