Dr. Dick van Steenis, a retired GP and well known campaigner on the dangers to human health from the emissions of EFW Waste Incinerators has agreed to give a presentation to members of the public and others on the serious hazards to human health posed by the emission of "nano-particles" which are freely emitted by Electric from Waste (EFW) Incinerators such as the type being proposed to be installed and used by Caerphilly County Borough Council in their partnership arrangement with Project
The presentation followed by questions and answers has been arranged for Wednesday the 19th January 2011 in the Council Chamber at Tredomen from 5.0pm until 8.0pm.
NOTE
Statements by the Health Protection Agency to Michael Ryan, Environment Agency and in Hansard 30 November 2009 by the Dept. of Health all agree NO RESEARCH has been carried out around incinerators in particular comparing health data and PM2.5 & PM1 data upwind with downwind. The HPA have issued false unsubstantiated claims which are simply fairy stories concocted by incinerator company lobbyists Enviros & others not based on any measurements. The Environment Agency hence authorise incinerator emissions as high as 30ug/m3 namely 120 times that of 2 incinerators in Finland & 2 in Sweden. The EA wrote 2010 that the UK bag filters allow 90% of PM1s and 35% of PM2.5s through, hence the needless deaths & illnesses on a grand scale.
Mapping by electoral ward of NHS PCT & ONS data proves new & old UK incinerators kill & maim very large numbers. Measurements in Mexico City & Sweden prove this. Emissions in Sweden revealed the incinerator PM2.5s comprised 33% of total, well over double traffic namely 300 times higher
than claimed by a UK substandard technology application. The UK incinerators areillegal under the EC November 2008 directive. The HPA are telling lies and should be prosecuted.
