Landfill/Landraise produces significant amounts of methane gas, along with leachate, a toxic liquid that comes out of all that compressed waste

Leachate is full of organic and inorganic pollutants, including toluene, phenols, benzene, ammonia, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides, heavy metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Scientists are now beginning to discover that exposure to chemicals - indoors, outside, at work and even in the womb is a major contributor to chronic diseases

Have a look at the following CHE Toxicant and Disease Database which is searchable database that summarizes links between chemical contaminants and approximately 180 human diseases or conditions

The evidence is mounting that environmental contaminants play a major role in the risk of developing cancer. A study by researchers at the University of Liverpool has now found that exposure to even small amounts of environmental contaminants in air, food and water may increase the risk of cancer, especially in infants and young adults.

Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released a report stating that one-quarter of the world's disease burden - and one-third of the disease burden among children - is due to environmental factors that could be modified

Why would ESCC want to inflict these types of diseases on the population of East Sussex

ESCC are expected to be our guardians NOT poison the ratepayers
