As also we usually known as burning, is a common method to get rid of the trash. Beside its simple way that even can be practiced in household, incineration can also reduce the volume of waste until 90 percent in a short time.
Initially, incineration was only used to dispose the trash. But now, the process of incineration is also used to generate some useful products, like heat, steam, and electricity. What is more, the high temperature of incineration can also destroy many pathogens and toxic materials. That is reason why incineration is often used in the disposal of biomedical trash. However, speaking of incineration is not always about a good things, it is also has a disadvantage. It has become a classic issue that the gases and ashes which are produced by incineration contain many kinds of pollutant such as heavy metals, dioxins, and other substances which are dangerous to be sucked by human.
Comparing with other methods, incineration has more advantages than its disadvantages. But if we didn’t control the emissions well, it can be very dangerous for human’s health.
