After all that, the report somehow manages to conclude that.....

How can the writer draw this conclusion when it would only account for inhaled fumes and not consumed food which came from contaminated land etc etc

8.4.12 Levels of workplace exposure to incinerator emissions are several orders of

magnitude greater than the highest levels of exposure that might arise in local

communities. Any associated risk to health in local communities would therefore be

several orders of magnitude smaller than for plant workers.

Note below that arsenic is released from this plant.  Osvaldo explicitly said that there would be no arsenic released. Note also that the plant will release these chemicals right at the limit of what is allowed !

Review Of Potential Sites Report

 

Environmental Statement

Environmental Criteria, Appendix F

In table 2 of this document, we see a big list of all the 46 sites and they are rated on 6 different criteria. You would expect that Glenavy must be fairly close to the top of this list, seeing as how we 'won'.  There are in fact 26 sites which rate better than us as possible targets and 5 which rank along side us !  So we are between 27th and 32nd in a list of 46.
