====PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions in Hämeenkyrö====
Päivi
 
{{var
|Name        = PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions in Hämeenkyrö
|Focus      = Existing PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions from all the sources in Hämeenkyrö.
|Scope      = Annual emissions. Emissions from the sources in Hämeenkyrö municipality area only.
 
 
|Description = PM<sub>2.5</sub>  means particles with diameter less than 2,5 µm. Generally the most important sources of these fine particles are domestic combustion and traffic. This is most likely the situation also in Hämeenkyrö which is a town of 10200 inhabitants. Industries and energy production are also important sources. There are some quite large industries and power plants (e.g. M-Real Kyro cardboard factory, Finnforest Oyj sawmill and Kyro gas power plant) that also cause fine particle emissions.

====PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions from MSWI, biofuel plant, and natural gas plant in Hämeenkyrö====
Tommi
 
{{var
|Name        =
|Focus      = Gives PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions for the three power plants according to their actual/planned production
|Scope      = Annual PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions for each power plant.
|Description = This variable gives the PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions separately for each of the three power plant options to be considered in the Hämeenkyrö case. The emissions are calculated based on annual activities and exact technical configurations of the power plants. The technical data are entered in the FIRE (Factor Information Retrieval) software of the US EPA to obtain Emission Estimation Factors. The annual amounts of activity (in e.g. MWh/a or MSW burned/a) are then multiplied by the EF to get annual emissions from each plant. Note: This formulation leaves room for experimenting with adjustments in the power plants (e.g. if the amount of waste burned increases). Alternatively we can just use predetermined values and calculate one single annual emission figure for each plant.
|Inputs      = Planned or projected activities for each power plant and exact technical configurations of the plants. No such variables are considered in this excercise but the connections are included in the master model. If these values are fixed, these factors can be included in the calculation of this present variable.

|Description = Data needed to evaluate the personal exposure
# Data needed to model the PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration distribution around the MSWI:
## The emission produced by MSWI
## Stack height and location of MSWI in relation to municipality
## Meteorological data: average (e.g. daily) temperatures, wind speeds and directions, solar radiation etc.

## inhalable fraction of PM<sub>2.5</sub>
## concentration of PM<sub>2.5</sub> around the person in the locations the person moves in
## times spend in different locations
## breathing rate of the person
## weight of the person
## ...
Also required: the background concentration. Some values available for comparison: Urban US highest PM<sub>2.5</sub> concs 20-30 mikrog/m<sup>3</sup>, concentration in Helsinki over several years 8-11 mikrog/m<sup>3</sup>, non-urban US concs 1-6 mikrog/m<sup>3</sup> (Koistinen 2002).

===Baseline dioxin exposure in Hämeenkyrö===
Marjo
 
{{var
|Name        =
|Focus      = Baseline dioxin exposure in Hämeenkyrö inhabitants
|Scope      = The daily intake and the adipose tissue concentration of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and biphenyls (PCBs) in Hämeenkyrö population
|Description = Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs, "dioxins") are ubiquitously present, stable and persistent environmental contaminants. They are fat soluble and thus tend to bioaccumulate in tissue lipid and in the food chain. More than 90 % of the average human intake of dioxins originates from food, especially food of animal origin. In Finland the main source is fish, whose contribution is 72-94 % of the total PCDD/F intake via food.
 
Here we will use the daily PCDD/F intake estimated for the Finnish population in average as
a starting point. In addition, the other variable in this model, "Dioxin emissions in
Hämeenkyrö", may affect the estimate of baseline dioxin exposure in Hämeenkyrö.
 
For the adipose tissue PCDD/F concentration the value estimated for the general population living in
Finnish inland is used.
 
It is noteworthy, that some subgroups within society, such as nursing babies and people consuming lot of fish may be more highly exposed to dioxins than the average people.
 
PCBs, another group of persistent environmental contaminants, were included as they behave
similarly in the food chain and have partly similar health effects as dioxins.
|Inputs      = Dioxin emissions in Hämeenkyrö
|Index      =
|Definition  =
|Unit        = 1) Daily intake: WHO-TEQ pg/kg body weight
2) Adipose tissue concentration: WHO-TEQ pg/g fat
|Result      = Average daily intake of PCDD/Fs 0.79 pg/kg bw
 
Average daily intake of PCBs 0.74 pg/kg bw
 
Average adipose tissue PCDD/F concentration 26.4 pg/g
 
Average adipose tissue PCB concentration 18.1 pg/g
 
Note: During the nursing period, the PCDD/F intake of a child can be 1-2 orders of magnitude
higher than that of an adult.

How new municipal solid waste incinerator affects to economy? Waste incinerator is going to be a quite significant employer in Hämeenkyrö. It is also noted that price of gas energy is rising so it might be necessary to build the waste incinerator to guarantee low priced energy for M-real cardboard factory and Finnforest sawmill. Shutdown of either of these factory could be devastating to Hämeenkyrö's economy (employs over 300 persons). Shutdown of gas energy plant is not crucial (employs only 24 people).

** starting phase of the municipal solid waste incinerator (50 - 60 person-year)
** working phase of municipal solid waste incinerator (60 - 70 persons)
** M-Real cardboard factory (335 persons)

Risk assessment on Hämeenkyrö municipal solid waste incinerator contains a structured risk assessment of a plan to build a MSWI in Hämeenkyrö. There was a public vote related to a city planning decision: whether the municipality should plan an area for the plant or not. The vote was held in November 19, 2006.

This risk assessment consists of several pages, and the links to all of these pages can be found from a category page Category:Risk assessment on Hämeenkyrö municipal solid waste incinerator.


Objective

Health risk assessment related to the effects of the planned MSWI plant in Hämeenkyrö. Health of the population in Hämeenkyrö especially, and in Southern Finland in general. The scope contains a) the background risk due to the key emissions and b) the incremental risk due to the building and operation of the MSWI. Time scope: next 20 years (draft)
