What are the Toxicological Concerns of Gasification?
Gasification holds potential toxicological concerns, primarily related to the emission of pollutants. These include particulate matter, heavy metals, and organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The process can also release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to air pollution and respiratory issues. Understanding these emissions is crucial for assessing the health risks associated with gasification and implementing appropriate control measures.
