Incineration & London’s Toxic Air Health Crisis.

In this Podcast we talk to Katie English who has done a Master’s Dissertation on the resistance to the Edmonton incinerator and its impact on public health.

The overproduction of waste materials in the UK has created a national waste emergency. The UK government have focused using ‘quick fixes’ mainly incineration, to resolve this.

This research explores the case of the redevelopment of the Edmonton incinerator at Edmonton Ecopark in North London. It focuses on the political activism of local environmental groups protesting the presence of unsustainable waste infrastructure in their community.
