<p>Public Health England (PHE) funds the Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU)
at Imperial College London and the Environmental Research Group at King’s College
London. Both groups are part of the Medical Research Council-PHE Centre for Environment
and Health and carry out studies to extend the evidence base regarding whether emissions
from modern municipal waste incinerators affect human health.</p><p> </p><p>It is
expected that papers from the project will be submitted by SAHSU to peer reviewed
journals later this year, and that the papers are likely to be published a few months
after submission.</p><p> </p><p>PHE’s existing position that well run and regulated
modern municipal waste incinerators are not a significant risk to public health remains
valid.</p>
