Incineration is not a sensible alternative

I WOULD like to take issue with Patrick Browne (Irish Examiner letters, June 3) when he asserts that incineration is the only “sensible alternative” to the so-called waste management problem.

Incineration is a dangerous practiceleading to emissions of deadly toxins such as dioxins, furans and various heavy metals.

Theseare biomagnified at the top of the food chain that's us humans, lest there be any confusion.
