Abstract
Tracers of environmental contamination generated by the emissions of a small municipal solid waste incinerator were measured in different environmental compartments. Concentrations of OCDD, Hg, As, Cd and Pb in soil and plant foliage mapped in the impacted area revealed a clear fingerprint. The levels of measured contaminants, however, were far from having a toxicological significance. Lichens, used as biological indicators of air quality, revealed a measurable degree of pollution generated by acid emissions only very partially due to the studied source.
