AB  - Four different types of fuel blends containing demolition and construction wood 
      and household waste were combusted in a small-scale experimental set-up to study 
      the effect of fuel composition on the emissions of polychlorinated 
      dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), biphenyls (PCBs), 
      chlorobenzenes (PCBzs), chlorophenols (PCPhs) and polycyclic aromatic 
      hydrocarbons (PAHs). Two woody materials, commercial stemwood (ST) and demolition 
      and construction wood (DC) were selected because of the differences in their 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), ash and metals content. For household 
      waste, we used a municipal solid waste (MSW) and a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from 
      MSW with 5-20 wt% and up to 5 wt% food waste content respectively. No clear 
      effect on the formation of pollutants was observed with different food waste 
      content in the fuel blends tested. Combustion of ST-based fuels was very 
      inefficient which led to high PAH emissions (32 +/- 3.8 mg/kg(fuel)). The use of DC 
      clearly increased the total PCDD and PCDF emissions (71 +/- 26 mug/kg(fuel)) and had 
      a clear effect on the formation of toxic congeners (210 +/- 87 ng 
      WHO(2005)-TEQ/kg(fuel)). The high PCDD and PCDF emissions from DC-based fuels can 
      be attributed to the presence of material contaminants such as small pieces of 
      metals or plastics as well as timber treated with chromated copper arsenate 
      preservatives and pentachlorophenol in the DC source.
