Poolbeg Incinerator Style Pollution Costs California $28 Billion Annually

February 10, 2009

Poolbeg is already polluted above EU air pollution standards. The Poolbeg Incinerator to be operated by an offshore-entity will add to the particulates burden. The effects of the microscopic PM2.5 and PM1.0 particulates are not understood, they are not measured, but in a parallel to the Tobacco Industry, the premature deaths could lead [...]
