| Abstract | Secondary nonferrous metal smelters are important sources of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UPOPs) including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated naphthalenes, pentachlorobenzene, and hexachlorobenzene. Quantifying UPOP emissions by the main sources is an important step when evaluating UPOP emissions and establishing an inventory. In this study, field investigations were performed to allow UPOP emissions and distributions in stack gases emitted by secondary nonferrous metal smelters to be compared. A total of 25 stack gas samples were collected from secondary copper smelters (SCus), secondary zinc smelters, and secondary lead smelters in China. The mean toxic equivalent concentrations (TEQs) and mass concentrations of most of the UPOPs were highest in the secondary zinc smelter stack gas samples, next highest in the SCu stack gas samples, and lowest in the secondary lead smelter stack gas samples. The mean dioxin-like PCB and polychlorinated naphthalene TEQs were similar to 8.9 and similar to 6.6 times higher in stack gases from a SCu equipped with an oxygen-enriched smelting furnace than in stack gases from a SCu with a converter furnace. The mean PCB-118 to PCB-123 ratios and CN-10 to CN-35 ratios varied strongly and could be used as diagnostic ratios for apportioning the sources of UPOPs in the environment. Emission factors for dioxin-like PCBs, polychlorinated naphthalenes, pentachlorobenzene, and hexachlorobenzene in stack gases from secondary nonferrous metal smelters were derived and updated. The results improve our understanding of UPOP emission and provide data for establishing UPOP emission inventories for secondary nonferrous metal smelters. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
