Zusammenfassung:	This paper examines changes in municipal waste combustion practices over a 10 yr period (1982–1992). It reviews the public policy environment surrounding solid waste disposal and its impact on municipal waste combustion (MWC). Based on a series of surveys of MWC projects in the United States conducted since 1982, the paper examines the status of projects, technologies employed, air pollution control methods, fuel products, project revenues, and the extent of public and private sector participation [1].
