Add your own review!

Overview

Incineration has been used widely for waste disposal, including household, hazardous and medical waste - but there is increasing public concern over the benefits of combusting the waste versus the health risk from pollutants emitted during combustion. This text informs the emerging debate with up-to-date information available on incineration, pollution and human health, and includes expert conclusions and recommendations for further research and improvement of such areas as risk communication.
