incinerators or incinerators? What are they? A little 'truth Incinerators are facilities used for waste disposal through a process of combustion, which are issued at the end of gas, ash and dust. The incinerator, however, is simply a more modern incinerator where the heat produced during combustion of waste is recovered and used to produce steam, then used to produce electricity, so no less harmful but also helpful simply to produce energy. It 's true that the latest generation of energy plants reduce emissions significantly compared to their ancestors, but these are in any case. In fact, the latest theories on waste management indicate that the only way to enhance a refusal should be first of all reuse and then recycling. Incineration (albeit with energy recovery) would be easy disposal. In addition, the incinerator is not the end also never used in reference to European and Italian regulations, in which only speaks of "incinerator." Before incineration, the waste may be treated by processes to eliminate non-combustible materials and organic matter such as food scraps. The waste treated in this manner are commonly referred ecoballe. The last stages of the incineration process are those related to waste: A - The extraction of ashes which are classified as non-hazardous waste and particulate matter (about 4% by weight of incoming waste) classified as hazardous waste. Both are disposed of in landfills special waste; B - The treatment of the fumes after combustion pass through a filtration system for the removal of the contents of pollutants, and after they are released into the atmosphere at about 140 ° C. The most dangerous dust, as well as dioxins, are the most subtle - ie 2.5 pm particles with a diameter of 2.5 microns up to 0.1 diameter of 0.1 micron - that are beyond the evaluation criteria set by law. Professor Stefano Montanari, scientific director of the laboratory "Nanodiagnostics" Modena says that "there is no type of industrial filter capable of capturing particulates of 2.5 microns or less, but from the point of view of the calculations that are made in accordance with applicable law, this has little importance: the "incinerator" produces very little 10 pm - the only particles considered by the legislation - and the huge amount of other particulate matter is not covered in the assessments. So that, by law, the air is clean. "Yet the effects of these so-called nanopatologie generate dust, causing birth defects, childhood cancers, allergic diseases, inflammatory and neurological diseases. Inorganic particles are not biodegradable, non-biocompatible and as such can not be eliminated by the body. Moreover, even using incinerators, landfills will continue to serve as the emission of ashes must be disposed of by law. As if not enough incinerating disposal is also much more expensive because the cost of 1 MWh produced is costing us € 228 to € 66 in front of a hydroelectric plant, 63 wind €, 121 € biomass. To date, it is convenient because the process is funded by our citizens through a small tax to pay the bills: the Cip6 to finance renewable energy where it is not known because they fall under the incinerators. Sin which our pennies, saying this technology, end of course to be removed from the true climate-friendly technologies. As proof of this energy plant of Brescia (the largest in Europe), despite having been involved in two violations of European Directives one of which at national level on the CIP 6, also resulted in a conviction by the European Union in October 2006 was proclaimed "best system in the world" WTERT by an association made up of engineers, scientists and industries around the world. In some cases, beyond the eco-bales, end up in the ovens of radioactive waste incinerators, hospital, etc. ... (illegal thing that binds to the traffic problem of waste, a major source of income for the gangs. Ultimately, this technology is very efficient from a economically, very damaging to health, susceptible to the phenomenon of mystification waste if not carefully controlled, utterly unnecessary on the face of "exploitation" of waste reuse, but only because there is no transformation of matter. Besides, in a chemical reaction the mass of reacting substances (in this case waste) is equal to the mass of the reaction products (in this case gas, ash and particulate matter) (Lavoisier law). The only possibility for now remain the reuse, recycling, using biodegradable materials in industrial production and more research into new technologies, or we will end or submerged as in Campania and within Rome or poisoned to death.
