  3. Cons of Trash Incineration • Instead of having discrete waste objects you have airborne contamination • Filters to control the airborne contaminates can have a huge build up of very toxic wastes • Trash incineration may change chemical properties for the worse • Breaks down large objects into dust particles that may be more difficult to contain

  4. Chemical Properties of wastes turning worse • Chemical properties in waste can change from a little toxic to majorly toxic by being burned • With chemical properties turning worse the world will eventually ruin out of places to keep the very toxic material which will cause many animal extinctions as well as a possible humanity extinction

  5. Airborne contamination • Can cause health problems such as trouble breathing, wheezing, coughing, and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions • These health problems can result in more medication use, more doctor visits, more hospital admissions, and even premature death

  6. Toxic wastes • Can cause many animal mutations • It can also be linked to Global climate change • Toxic wastes not only affect the environment it affects humans as well • Toxic waste contamination can result in very serious medical conditions such as cancer or respiratory inflation
