Abstract Kuusakoski Ltd is a metal reclamation company operating world wide. Metals recovered are mainly aluminium, copper and different steels. NaCl and KCl are used in processes. Sampling and emission analysis of PCP's, PCB's, PCDD/PCDF's and PAH's were made from seven processes at plant. Emissions indicate, that large part of chlorinated aromatic compounds are formed due to PVC-plastic in cables and car components. On the basis of this study, we suggest, that chlorinated benzenes, -naphtalens and -diphenyl ethers should also be measured in the emissions.
