MPs call for halt to Britain’s incinerator expansion plans

Report concludes particles are health hazard as London councils set to vote on Edmonton incinerator

MPs are calling for a moratorium on the expansion of new waste incineration plants just days before councils in London vote on awarding a contract to build a huge new plant in Edmonton.

A report by the all-party parliamentary group on air pollution says expansions should be halted immediately to protect human health and cut carbon emissions.
