Residual concentrations of 16 priority PAHs were determined using GC-MS. Total PAH conc. was found as: gas, 3.11 {\~A}? 10-4 - 4.36 {\~A}? 10-4 ppmv; particulate, 7.92 {\~A}? 10-5 - 5.24 {\~A}? 10-4 mg/m3; and residue, 1.37 {\~A}? 10-4 - 1.07 {\~A}? 100 {\^I}1/4g/g. Total toxicity equivalence of PAHs relative to that of benzoapyrene (BaP) was found as: gas, 3.11 {\~A}? 10-7 - 4.41 {\~A}? 10-7; particulate, 3.87 {\~A}? 10-7 - 3.85 {\~A}? 10-5; and residue, 6.17 {\~A}? 10-7 - 9.65 {\~A}? 10-3. Ca(OH)2 + NaHCO3 was most suitable due to least emission of high molecular weight PAHs, lower equivalent carcinogenicity of products, and lower concentrations of PAHs in gas, particulate and residue.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84861475399&partnerID=40&md5=7a7b4878fa59eed55c58db161f046669}, keywords = {carcinogen; comparative study; emission; PAH; sludge; thermal decomposition; toxicity; waste treatment} }
