Why Ban Incineration? Burning was once considered the most effective method for disposing of waste materials. But since industrialisation the nature of waste has changed dramatically. The mass production of chemicals and plastics mean that the burning or incineration of waste today is a complex, costly and highly polluting method of disposal. Based on the myth that burning makes waste disappear, incineration has emerged as a widely used method to dispose of many kinds of waste, including hazardous wastes.
However, far from making waste disappear incinerators actually create more toxic waste, and through this pose a significant threat to public health and the environment. For example, incineration is touted as an alternative to land filling. Yet incinerator ashes - contaminated with heavy metals, unburned chemicals and entirely new chemicals formed during the burning process - are buried in landfill or dumped in the environment. Through incineration, industry has found a way to break down its bulk waste and disperse it into the environment via air, water and ash emissions. Incineration is a convenient way for industry to mask ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sugiarto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 9:28 AM Subject: RE: [Lingk] TSCA Incinerator > Mas Komo dan Mas Djuni yang tidak "Lethek", > > Sebenarnya kita memerlukan info yang berimbang tentang incinerator. > Incinerator yang buruk itu yang bagaimana dan yang masih boleh (baik) > bagaimana?
