Excerpt

Atmophilic
Characterizing an element that concentrates in the atmosphere
Dibenzofuran
Dioxin with one of the two oxygen atoms replaced by a carbon-carbon bond
Dioxin
Short for dibenzo-dioxin, often substituted with various chlorine atoms such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)
MSW
Municipal solid waste, representing mixed waste that is collected by a given collection system. Since in addition other collection systems for recycling might be present too (paper, glass, metals, etc.), MSW from different regions with different collection systems might vary even if consumption patterns are identical.
PVC
Polyvinylchloride
SEA
Statistical entropy analysis (see Rechberger in this volume)
Transfer coefficient kXi
Coefficient describing the partitioning of an element X among “i” products of incineration
