uin	117201
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>The effects of modern municipal waste incinerators on human health were reviewed by the Health Protection Agency, whose functions were transferred to Public Health England (PHE) 1 April 2013. The report, published in September 2009, concluded “Modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.”</p><p> </p><p>PHE will review its advice in light of new substantial research on the health effects of incinerators published in peer reviewed journals. To date, PHE is not aware of any evidence that requires a change in their position statement.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 12/12/2017 13:57:01 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
