• Existence of capacity to monitor
PCDD/PCDF
ü There is neither experience no capacity to
monitor PCDD/PCDF releases in Tanzania
this may be attributed to the fact that the
subject matter is quite new.
Constraints
• Low knowledge / awareness
• Lack monitoring (infrastructure/personnel)
• Size of installations are small (installation of BAT
may be expensive)
• Diffusive nature of Dioxins/Furans sources
• Lack of standards
• Lack of appropriate emissions factors
• Weak institutional framework (e.g. lack of
enforcement)

• Best Available Technologies and Best
<strong>Environment</strong>al Practices
ü Currently this area is still being worked
upon globally. The survey did not establish

ü Unfortunately there is lack of planned information
platform except occasional advertisements.
ü But there exist several environmental
dissemination initiatives which have been
successfully conducted or are still being conducted
that may be used to experience from, for the
dissemination of PCDD/PCDF issues. Some of
these are covered in my next presentation.
Efficacy of existing
policies and
Legislation
Availability of Test
methods
Safety data sheets
Reduce overlaps in
jurisdictions
Review of relevant policies and
legislations
Develop emission standards,
monitoring schemes, national emission
factors, upgrade test labs, accreditation
of some labs
Develop a mechanism for
communication on PCDD/PCDF
releases
Streamline of government departments
to reduce overlaps
