Pollution Event hits Workforce on Viridor’s Waste Incinerator in Warrington
Cardiff people should be warned by the pollution event at Viridor’s new plant in Warrington, says Cardiff Against the Incinerator (CATI).
Viridor workers hospitalised after pollution spill
The emission of very fine dust particles of lime causing irritation to the eyes and respiratory problems led to 17 hospital cases, fortunately not too serious. This was during commissioning of the plant, though very fine fly-ash particles will be similarly high in lime.
Max Wallis, on behalf of CATI said: Viridor’s plant in Splott is due to reach a similar commissioning phase in the next 6 to 12 months, unless the High Court put a stop on it. Local people need to be warned – these incinerator plants emit as well as fumes much hazardous dust particles that are poorly controlled.
