“In a House of Lords enquiry on 14th April 1999, Environment Minister
Michael Meacher said,
“Incinerator plants are the source of serious toxic pollutants: dioxins;
furans; acid gases; particulates; heavy metals; and they all need to

Some of the emissions are carcinogenic… We must use every
reasonable instrument to eliminate them altogether”.
