Gasification Incinerator Research and Information
 
The following websites contain research and other infornation about the various types of incinerators and their potential health effects. We would encourage everyone to do their own research on the subject and to form their own view. 
 
Governments are expected to protect their citizens but it is becoming increasingly clear that our health may not always be at the top of their agenda. Anyone who still believes that government would only allow incinerators if they were safe may find this report interesting. Based on DEFRA information it looks at how the government is only looking to reduce deaths and illnesses caused by incinerator emissions.
 
Includes various analyses, see the bottom of the home page for an analysis of the emissions data supplied by BCB.
 
This article by a well respected retired government advisor shows how dangerous the proposed plant could be.
