The Chepcholet Dispensary’s waste incinerator has been a source of concern for the local community for years, emitting toxic fumes and pollutants into the air, posing a significant threat to the health and well-being of residents. The “Clean Air, Healthy Lives” campaign, launched by a group of concerned citizens, aims to raise awareness about the dangers of the incinerator and push for its immediate shutdown.
The Problem with the Incinerator
The Chepcholet Dispensary’s waste incinerator burns medical waste, including hazardous materials like chemicals, plastics, and heavy metals. The incineration process releases toxic pollutants, such as dioxins, furans, and particulate matter, into the air, contaminating the environment and putting the health of nearby residents at risk. Exposure to these pollutants has been linked to a range of health problems, including respiratory issues, cancer, and neurological damage.
