Note: Domestic waste incineration pollution control standard GWKB 3-2000 is the revision of Small Incinerator Pollutant Emission Standard HJT18-1996, but it was replaced by Domestic waste incineration pollution control standard GB18485-2001 one year later. These two standards have the same contents. The later one is displayed in this table.
