Health Risks and Environmental Impact<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n “Every community deserves to breathe clean air. We cannot let this incinerator<\/a> jeopardize our health<\/a> and well-being.” – Linda Johnson\n <\/div>\n

Environmental<\/a> groups have also weighed in, highlighting studies that link emissions<\/a> from incinerators to respiratory issues and other health<\/a> problems.
