# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147 of 10 August 2018 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste treatment, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2018) 5070) (Text with EEA relevance), Division: Description

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

This includes all of the following measures:
equipment used to treat WEEE containing mercury is enclosed, under negative pressure and connected to a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system;
waste gas from the processes is treated by dedusting techniques such as cyclones, fabric filters, and HEPA filters, followed by adsorption on activated carbon (see Section 6.1);
the efficiency of the waste gas treatment is monitored;
mercury levels in the treatment and storage areas are measured frequently (e.g. once every week) to detect potential mercury leaks.
