SELCHP incinerator - a risk to human health
Summary
The SELCHP incinerator burns over a thousand tonnes of household rubbish every day. It currently takes waste from Lewisham, Greenwich and the City of Westminster, including Downing Street and Parliament and will soon start accepting waste from Bromley as well. SELCHP is owned by the French multi-national company Onyx.
Despite its flagship status within the incineration industry SELCHP routinely releases chemicals that have been linked to cancers, birth defects, heart disease and breathing illnesses.
