Incinerators rarely meet emission limits

INDAVER’S lawyer Paul Gardiner has claimed that the proposed toxic waste incinerator would have “no adverse health impact,” provided EU directives on emission standards are met.

The problem is that they are rarely met and almost every incinerator routinely infringes these standards.

Indaver’s own plant at Antwerp in 2002 emitted dioxin at a level over 1,800 times the legally permitted limit.
