The Breathe Clean Air Group’s March Against the Incinerator received fantastic press this week!  The Messenger devoted page 1 and 2 to coverage of the event, which really captured the essence and gravity of the march.  We also featured in the Advertiser and on many websites. The photo gallery on Urmston Online is well worth a look and the article on Salford Star is also wonderful coverage.
Funny how yet ANOTHER picture of a totally different incinerator was in the Advertiser. Do these people even know what they are doing?
The question that should be considered by residents is:
“Why haven’t the Department of Health (Hansard, 30 Nov 2009, Col 539W) or the Health Protection Agency (see Surrey Mirror & Dorking Advertiser articles of 22 May 2008)or the Environment Agency (they rely on HPA’s worthless advice/opinion), examined any health or mortality data in electoral wards around existing incinerators?”
Is it because the above public bodies know that the data proves that they’ve been lying about health effects of incinerators?
If incinerators don’t harm health, why is it that the electoral wards which are exposed to incinerator emissions in London have high infant death rates while those that are free from such emissions have very low rates – or even zero infant deaths during the 7-year period 2002-2008?
