| Abstract |
This study was carried out in ten metal-producing and metalworking plants in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, where collected dusts are recycled. The classification and labelling of the dusts with regard to their composition and the data sheets supplied with the dusts destined for recycling were examined. In 28 dusts collected in steel and zinc producing plants and in foundries, the concentrations of polychlorinated dioxins, polychlorinated furans and heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, nickel and zinc were determined. Almost all analysed dusts were found to pose a hazard to the environment but were not labelled as such. Little was known about the composition of dusts collected in zinc smelters and heavy metal foundries so that no adequate protective measures were taken during handling and recycling. |
