The flue gases are checked for their content of heavy metals, hydrofluoric acid, dioxins and furans once each year in a monitoring campaign. The current results are listed below:

Parameters Unit Limits Annual measurement 2007
Hydrofluoric acid mg/m³ 1.0 < 0.3
Total cadmium and thallium mg/m³ 0.05 0.005
Total antimony, arsenic, lead, chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, vanadium, tin mg/m³ 0.50 0.036
Total arsenic, benzo[a]pyrene, cadmium, cobalt and chromium mg/m³ 0,05 0.008
Dioxins und furans as TE* ng/m³ 0.10 0.0009
 
*The toxicity equivalent TE is a total figure for the assessment of the total toxicity of all dioxins and furans
