Hemelhempstead Today - By Jonathan Matfin.
Tring residents could be exposed to gases linked with cancer and birth defects if plans for an incinerator get the go ahead, ...Dr White, who issued his statement at a parish council meeting held in Buckland last month (July) where more than 700 people turned up, said he had based his comments on research by a Slough doctor and a study funded by the Belgian government on the health impacts of a waste incinerator in that country....

According to Dr White's sources, the dust caused from burning waste in recycling plants has been linked to chest, ear, nose and throat infections, asthma and chronic airway disease.

Pollutants from some incinerators have also been linked to higher rates of lung cancer, heart disease and birth defects including spina bifida and cleft lip and palate.
