allowed here in NC. I wonder why? I personally am not a big fan of incinerators
(as you may have guessed). The two medical waste incinerators we have here in
NC are not an efficient way to get rid of waste, especially when they result in
the dangerous formation of dioxins. Incinerators do not always operate properly,
a major drawback being the uncontrolled releases of emissions also known as by-pass
events. Scrubbers and filters can only remove so much. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

a chemist, I had to jump in and correct a huge misconception—microwave

destroy the compounds in question as would a PROPERLY OPERATING, MAINTAINED,

pollution control devices are orders of magnitude more efficient than either of

neighborhoods. Both have continued violations. Both are out of compliance with
the new air standards for air pollutants under the new EPA rules for medical
waste incinerators promulgated in 2009. Both burn paper and plastics as a means

very cost intensive, non-sustainable practice, Additionally and most
importantly it must be performed properly under strict monitoring conditions.
The un-intended by-product “Dioxin” et.al. will be produced and
released If the pharm compounds are not raised to proper temperatures and
maintained for prescribed time intervals under prescribed containment
conditions. This is not a simple task. I am amazed that this practice is even
permitted.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
