Some data on the health aspects of hazardous waste incineration in Hungary
- National Institute of Public Health, Budapest, Hungary
The results indicate that even with careful operation, in the environment of waste incinerators one has to count with pollution. The authorities and the representatives of the populations check the operation of the incinerator regularly. The existing landfill basins are practically full, a new landfill site is planned. Inhabitants have a definite dislike of the incinerator manifested by protests against the settling of the new landfill site (though this would influence favourably the process of groundwater contamination). It is not out of the question that the landfill of solid wastes should be removed to a far away site, which will raise further the prices of incineration that are quite high now as it is. The frequency of respiratory complaints of children makes a more detailed examination of air concerning its polluting components, especially that of organic components, necessary.
