Abstract

It should be noted that the European Dioxin Inventory did not include any measurements of air emission from sources in Estonia. As real dioxin emissions measurements in Estonia were highly needed, dioxin emissions from four oil shale-fired boilers at two power plants (Balti PP and Eesti PP) located in North-East Estonia were measured on March 3-8, 2003. Danish Cooperation for Environment in Eastern Europe (DANCEE) sponsored the project: "Dioxin Emission from Oil Shale Fired Power Plants in Estonia", and dk-TEKNIK ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT (now FORCE Technology) was responsible for the measurements, which where conducted in cooperation with the Estonian Environmental Research Centre (EERC) in Tallinn.
