The West Mountain Waste<\/a> Incinerator<\/a>, located in Utah, has been a topic of concern for local residents and environmentalists for years. While the incinerator<\/a> is designed to burn waste<\/a> and reduce landfill usage, it has been linked to a range of toxic emissions<\/a> and health<\/a> problems.
