SHOULD REGULATORS PASS KILLING & MAIMING AROUND CHESTERFIELD?
Posted by admin in Danger to Our Health, Expert, Knowledge Bank on January 23rd, 2009
Should you reside or work downward of the proposed Sheepbridge Resource Park site, note it can be passed by the council, subject to agreement by the public health director and the Environment Agency. Note that incineration of waste causes a shortening of lifespan of up to 14 years (seen in Coventry), often in the prime of life by increasing a range of diseases especially heart attacks & cancers. A university led study in Belgium detailed diseases and deaths caused during years 1-5 , 6-10 and 11-20 ending up with a 480% rise in cancer incidence on top of the country’s rise, yet that St Niklaas Incinerator was operating under the EC 2000 directive, as is the proposal. The proposed chimney will spread the damage up to 5 miles depending on weather conditions including Chesterfield, Dronfield,Staveley, Brimington, Arkwright & intervening villages. The proposal appears to deal with hazardous and residual waste in 3 gasification plants each with a 3-foot wide flue. The temperature has been quoted as 850C but that waste needs over 1250C and the system appears unsafe like incinerators.

- Emissions covering a 16 mile radius
- Unproven technology – the long term health effects are not known
- Alarming health statistics in areas surrounding other incinerators
- Unfiltered emissions from the emergency flue that can be opened for up to 4 hours when the system breaks down
- The 21 metre flue/chimney stack from the plant, located on a hillside, will be visible from miles around destroying the views around this area of North Derbyshire
- At least 60 extra HGV movements each day, along already congested roads, which are not safe for large vehicles.
- Continuous noise and odours from the plant, which will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Hundreds of jobs at risk in the area, as firms threaten to move away if the development goes ahead.
