Waste Incineration - chronic poisoning of the People Part 7 Incineration Lobbyists.
Lektüre with Dr. Harry Rosin at a Congress of the Bürgerbewegung für Kryo-Recycling in 2008
What does the incinerator lobby say about it? www.youtube.com/watch
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration
The waste incinerator lobby claims, self-servingly and not entirely correctly, that incineration is stipulated by the Technical Instructions on Municipal Solid waste. The organic part of residual waste can also be reduced to the demanded degree (ignition loss of less than 5%) by material recycling with good biological-mechanical treatment (BMT).
The incinerator lobby inveigles critics by stressing that if waste were not used as energy source more fossil primary energy - crude oil and natural gas - would have to be used.
There are three tings the lobby does not tell them:
1.) Oil and gas fired power plants work much more efficiently than thermal recovery refuse incineration plants.
2.) Burning plastics does not save oil imports but forces oil imports for new synthesis.
3.) Too high a price is paid for the low efficiency of a waste- to- energy plant (approx. 5% as electricity) in the form of chronic environmental and mass poisoning.
The expansion of numbers of WIPs in Germany and worldwide is so well prepared propagandistically that one can even hear statements like this today: "In waste incineration the state- of- the- art plants remove nearly all pollutants from the environment and make an important contribution to environment and climate protection because the production of energy is mostly free of carbon dioxide." [b]( 22 )[/b]
Expensive waste incineration has led in many places to a rise in refuse collection charges. To keep the costs from skyrocketing, behind the scenes it was ensured that cheapjack methods of flue gas cleaning and slag and ash disposal are accepted and that WIPs do not have to pay fpr their CO² emissions and are excluded from emissions trading.
Unfortunately, a lot of top toxicologists, enviromental hygienists and occupational health specialists have been helping as appraisers for the last 15 Years (2008) to increace the general acceptance of waste incineration plants. Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Eikmann, Director of the Institute for Hygiene and Enviromenttal Medicine of the Justus Liebig University, Gießen ( www.uni-giessen.de ), and president of the Society for Hygiene, Enviromental Medicine and Preventive Medicine, summerize the opinion of this group in the No.01/2008 issue of "RECYCLINGmagazin", which is preferably read by waste management companies ( 21 ). The text of the contribution is cited extensively below.
Do Waste Incineratien Plants (WIPs), MNT plants and HWIPs make people sick?

-- 17. BImSchV = world´s strictest emission limits for WIPs
-- State- of- the- art WIPs = those that meet and freequently beat the standard owing to sophisticated filter technology
-- Pollutants are safely made inert or removed by high- grade flue gas cleaning systems: German WIPs 0 pollutant sinks
-- Metals recycled, slag recycled after treatment
-- Smal quantities of flue gas cleaning residues underground
--Standards for pollutant levels in food plants adhered to
--Indication of spread of Cancer, respiratory diseases and allergies implausible for Germany if standards are observed
-- WIPs add no pollution to existing pollution
Under the title "worlds most rigorous standards]", Prof Eikmann and his wife write literally:
"With a regulation for incinerator plants for refuse and similar burnable material - the 17th Federal Ambient Pollution Control Ordinance (17.BImSchV de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BImSchV ) - a regulation came to effect which stipulated for waste incineration plants in Germany the worldwide harshest emission limits especially for dioxins and furans (0.1 ng/m³) as well as for heavy metals. a transition period of six years was fixed for existing plants at least had to meet the specified standards. WIPs thus became a real "pollutant sink". Using thermal waste treatment, nowdays the organic waste constituents are safely destroyed and other harmful substances made inert or separated by high- grade flue gas cleaning. As side effects, the metals in the waste are separated for recycling, the generated slag can be utilized after processing, and energy in the form of electricity and heat can be used. Only smal amounts of flue gas residuals must be disposed of as waste. This is normally done underground.
If the emission limits of 17. BImSchV are observed, the existing pollution concentration (primary load) are not changed, or only insignificantly changed, by the additional emissions (additive load) from WIPs.....
