Responding to submissions from the local community, who have expressed grave concern at the health impacts of the incinerators, environmental consultant for Indaver, Dr Edward Porter told the third day of the An Bord Pleanála hearing that all potentially dangerous emissions from the waste- to-energy facility would fall far short of sanctioned emission limits.
Dr Porter — director of air quality and climate with AWN Consulting — cited Britain’s National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
