answer text <p>No estimate has been made of cost to the National Health Service of emissions from incinerators.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England’s position is that well run and regulated modern municipal waste incinerators are not a significant risk to public health. This is because 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> more like this
