The incinerator<\/a>’s emissions<\/a> have been shown to contain high levels of toxic pollutants, including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can cause a range of health<\/a> problems, including respiratory issues, cancer, and neurological damage. The nearby communities, which are largely low-income and marginalized, are particularly vulnerable to these health<\/a> risks due to their limited access to healthcare and other resources.<\/p>\n
