Is burning trash a bad idea for getting rid of it?



  1. 0 Votes

    Because modern trash is so heavily laden with plastic and artificially manufactured products, it is safe to assume that any trash receptacle contains a significant amount of chemicals. Burning these chemicals changes their chemical structure, which can lead to the formation of Dioxin and Hexachlorobenzene, both of which have been shown to cause significant physical damage when inhaled. Furthermore, these harmful toxins settle onto surrounding plants and animals, thus having a significant effect on the surrounding ecosystem.
