This paper analyses some aspects of the steps to be developed for the assessment of the health risk from combustion of sewage sludge (after thermal drying). In order to choose the best localization for a sewage sludge combustion plant, three sites were considered in this case-study. The steps analyzed are: site characterization, plant characterization, modeling of emissions to the atmosphere, health risk assessment, role of sludge transportation. The role of the background characterization of the best site in term of unconventional pollutants presence is discussed too.

Abstract
This paper analyses some aspects of the steps to be developed for the assessment of the health risk from combustion of sewage sludge (after thermal drying). In order to choose the best localization for a sewage sludge combustion plant, three sites were considered in this case-study. The steps analyzed are: site characterization, plant characterization, modeling of emissions to the atmosphere, health risk assessment, role of sludge transportation. The role of the background characterization of the best site in term of unconventional pollutants presence is discussed too.File in questo prodotto:
