§ Mrs. RumboldResults so far available from tests carried out by Warren Spring laboratory on flue gas emissions from municipal incinerators show that trace amounts of polychlorinated dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans are produced. The levels are below air quality standards currently in use worldwide. A full report will be published later this year.
