  ABSTRACT
  
  An evaluation of the dioxins emissions from a power boiler fuelled with 
  salt-laden wood waste has provided insights on potential control 
  technologies. Whereas a reduction in stack particulate levels does not 
  preclude a corresponding reduction in dioxins emissions, good combustion 
  conditions, in combination with an efficient secondary collection device 
  for particulate removal, were found to offer effective control (stack 
  emissions of 0.064 to 0.086 ng TEQ/m3). Regarding minimization of dioxins 
  formation at source, a preliminary assessment of the possible beneficial 
  effect of an attenuated chlorine:sulphur ratio was encouraging. A more 
  accurate assessment requires additional trials preferably longer in 
  duration, to eliminate any possible memory effects.
