Indaver fortnightly analysis ‘will not protect residents’ from unsafe dioxin levels

Fortnightly analysis of emissions from a proposed incinerator does not constitute “continuous monitoring”, leaving locals potentially exposed to unsafe dioxin levels, an expert in industrial process instrumentation has warned.

Rodney Daunt of Blackpool-based Daunt Instrumentation and Control said: “You cannot control that which you cannot measure and if you are not measuring, nobody is going to know and corrective action will not be taken.”

Mr Daunt was speaking on day nine of the hearing into a proposal by waste management company Indaver Ireland to build a 240,000 tonne waste-to-energy facility in Ringaskiddy.
