PCB's in incineration

Re:
"Netherlands has the only national PCB inventory.  Municipal waste
combustors apparantly emit little, cement kilns a lot (~60% of total TEq,
ie incl dioxins & furans)."

Tony,
That is my understanding as well.  The oxidation process in newer, at
least,
municipal waste incinerators is more effective in reducing PCBs emissions 
but instead increases dioxins emissions.  Unfortunately one can't rid
oneself of 
both in any know burn process.
