Appeal from the health and healthcare sector
against the reclassification of incineration in the WFD
11 June 2008
In view of the upcoming vote on the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) we, the undersigned physicians and Associations,
would like to ask the plenary of the European Parliament to take into account health considerations when voting in the WFD
and therefore oppose the reclassification of “efficient incineration” as recovery.
We are concerned the efficiency formula which reclassifies incineration only takes into account energy efficiency considerations
and not health or environmental repercussions. The current proposal upgrades incineration, which we believe is the wrong signal to send to the European citizens.
More waste burnt means more man-made toxics in the ecosystems, more fine particles in the air and more bottom ash and fly ash in the ground.
We regret that we are going to see the amount of waste being incinerated increasing in the next years which would put even more fellow Europeans under risk.
Moreover, we are sadly surprised that the rapporteur of the Waste Framework Directive, Ms Caroline Jackson, claims that the health effects from incinerators are negligible.
(1) Several recent studies of wide samples of population continue to reveal the threat that incinerators pose to human health in Europe and around the world.
(2) Ultrafine particles emissions are still not monitored anywhere in Europe, even though the danger these particles pose is well documented.(3)(4)
We are also concerned about the image that the EU is giving to the rest of the world by being a resource-burning economy. We believe the current
Waste Framework Directive falls short in ensuring that the waste will be properly separated and making sure the best waste management option will be applied.
Progressive recycling targets are needed to redirect waste away from incinerators into cleaner processes.
We therefore ask the European Parliament to reconsider its decision regarding the reclassification of incineration and stick to its first reading position,
which we believe will do far more to preserve children’s health and the health of future European generations. We, the undersigned organisations, represent over 33,000 doctors.

Müllverbrennung erhöht Krebsrisiko"Krebserkrankungen deutlich über Durchschnitt"
Das Krebsrisiko für Menschen, die in der Nähe von Müllverbrennungsanlagen leben, deutlich höher als für andere Personengruppen. Dies ergab eine Studie der französischen Universität Besancon, teilte die unabhängige Umweltgruppe CNIID (Centre national d'information independante sur les dechets) am Mittwoch in Paris mit.Untersucht worden ist das Krebsrisiko in der Umgebung der Müllverbrennungsanlage der ostfranzösischen Stadt Besancon. Werde das durchschnittliche Risiko einer Krebserkrankung mit dem Wert eins beziffert, steige dieser Risikofaktor im Umkreis der Anlage auf 1,44. Die Studie folgert aus den Werten, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Krebserkrankungen in der Nähe der anderen 250 französischen Müllverbrennungsanlagen ähnlich hoch ist. "Einige von ihnen weisen noch einen weitaus höheren Dioxin-Ausstoß auf als die Anlage von Besancon", hieß es in der Untersuchung. Dort stießen die Experten auf 75 bekannt gewordene Krebserkrankungen, was im Hinblick auf die Bevölkerungszahl "deutlich über dem Durchschnitt" liege.
"Mi vjerujemo u struku i primjere iz europske prakse. CEMEX će kao i do sada ulagati u
zaštitu zdravlja i okoliša i unaprjđ ivati postupak proizvodnje klinkera."
Branko Mozara, CEMEX, direktor odnosa s javnošću
Europska praksa:
Studija Umweltbundesamta pokazuje da se suspaljivanje otpada u cementare ispušta više štetnih tvari
nego pri spaljivanju u konvencionalnim spalionicama smeća.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Justice Department announced today that Cemex, Inc., one of the largest producers of Portland cement in the United States, has agreed to pay a $1.4 million penalty for Clean Air Act violations at its cement plant in Fairborn, Ohio.

Alternatives, good examples
As envisaged by the Ronchi Law Decree of 1997, we should first of all: recycle, re-use, compost and reduce waste, and only incinerate what is left. There are 12 incinerators in Lombardy out of a total of 42 all over Italy. They are more than is needed, if we used existing viable and cost-effective alternatives.
In the USA, Canada and Australia the Zero Waste Option (changing production methods and reducing waste at source) is creating jobs and improving people’s quality of life.
What we have done
Collected and disseminated information (web site, leaflets, conferences)
A Petition against the Waste Plan and incineration of all waste in Merone (on-going)
Letters to and meetings with local political, health and environmental authorities.
What we have achieved
Brought waste incineration in Merone to the attention of the local press /local authorities
10.000 signatures against Province Waste Plan and incineration of all waste in Merone
Statements, Resolutions, Decisions approved by local authorities in opposition to the Plan
A modification to the Waste Plan – reference to environmental and health controls (not what we wanted, yet a first result).
Our goals (short term)
Prevent incineration of municipal and toxic waste in Merone’s cement kiln
Stop incineration of all waste (including industrial, non toxic waste) in Merone’s cement plant.
Promote waste sorting and collection of waste for recycling and composting
Our goals (long term)
Help prevent the creation of new incinerators or the expansion of existing ones in Lombardy and anywhere else
in Italy and Europe.
Promote waste prevention and clean production
Educate and inform, in order to bring about changes in people’s consumer patterns.
Actions and projects
Collection of health and environmental data
Awareness campaign towards both the public and the authorities
Monitoring environmental quality
Networking at a national and European level.
