Incineration emissions

Incineration emissions refer to the pollutants released into the air when waste is burned in an incinerator. While incineration reduces waste volume and can generate energy, it also produces gases and particles, including carbon dioxide, dioxins, heavy metals, and other hazardous substances. These emissions can contribute to air pollution, climate change, and health risks if not properly controlled. Modern incinerators use filters and scrubbers to minimize airborne pollutants, but some emissions may still escape. Effective regulation and technology are essential to manage the environmental impact of incineration emissions.
