- Abstract
- The report is a detailed guide for using two devices to sample stack gas effluents from haz ardous waste incinerators. These two devices--the Modified Method 5 (MM5) train and the Source Assessment Sampling System (SASS) train--have been identified as the sampling deices to be used in assessing the Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE) of Principal Organic Haardous Compounds (POHCs) by hazardous waste incinerators. Step-by step procedures for cleaning, assembling, calibrating, using, and recovering samples from each device are detailed. Guidelines for the reduction and presentation of data are included.
