incinerator
An incinerator is a specialized furnace designed to burn waste materials at high temperatures. Its primary purpose is to reduce the volume of trash, destroy harmful bacteria and chemicals, and sometimes generate energy in the process. Incineration safely converts waste into ash, smoke, and gases, which are carefully filtered to minimize environmental impact. Incinerators are used for municipal waste, medical waste, and certain industrial byproducts, helping manage waste responsibly and reduce landfill use while ensuring public health and environmental safety.
