AB  - Memory effect is delayed emission of certain persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs). Many of the POP compounds viz. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 
      polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) 
      get trapped in the particulate phase deposited in the flue transfer lines and air 
      pollution control systems (equivalent to storage in the memory of a system) and 
      released subsequently. Memory effect driven emission is a combination of real 
      time emission and emission of stored compounds and so is not a true measure of 
      actual real time emission. Memory effect is now realized to have existed for a 
      long time but was not identified and understood until recently. Memory effect has 
      several serious implications e.g. it wrongly depicts emission patterns of POPs; 
      it makes compliance to stipulated emission standards difficult; it could lead to 
      wrong calculations of emission factors and emission inventory estimates of a 
      plant and leads to misinterpretation of efficacy of processes and air pollution 
      control systems. Further, new PCDD/Fs may be formed in the trapped particulate 
      phase via de novo synthesis and the new compounds may be emitted, thereby 
      increasing total PCDD/F emissions, apart from altering the homologue pattern of 
      PCDD/Fs in emissions. Memory effect could be minimized by judicious operational 
      and management (O&M) procedures like optimizing combustion, minimizing 
      unnecessary halts in operations, periodical cleaning of flue transfer lines, 
      application of inhibitors etc.
