TI  - Inventory of Polychlorinated Naphthalene Emissions from Waste Incineration and 
      Metallurgical Sources in China.

AB  - Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are highly toxic persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) that are a relatively new addition to the Stockholm Convention 
      as of 2015. The levels of unintentional emissions of PCNs from important 
      industrial thermal sources on national scales are unclear but are important for 
      understanding potential human exposure. In this study, an inventory was compiled 
      of PCN emissions from priority industrial sources of unintentional POPs in China. 
      Estimated emissions from four typical POP sources in the reference year (2014) in 
      China were 511.6 kg by mass and 7650.8 mg of toxic equivalent. Waste 
      incineration, secondary nonferrous smelting, electric arc furnace steelmaking, 
      and iron ore sintering plants contributed 38.8, 15.4, 29.2, and 16.6%, 
      respectively, to the total emissions. The Eastern Seaboard of China and the Hebei 
      region in North China, which have intensive industrial activity and high 
      population densities, were dominant contributors of PCNs. Only 18.6% of the 
      counties where waste incineration plants were located emitted PCNs at a level 
      higher than 1.00 x 10(-1) mg of toxic equivalent, whereas 80% of the counties 
      where metallurgical plants were located emitted PCNs at this level. These results 
      indicate effective implementation of POP control in the waste incineration 
      industry in China. This study clarifies the unintentionally emission levels of 
      PCNs in China and provides important information for strategy development to 
      control source emissions.
