Can be managed cleaner than landfill emitting methane into the air and other pollutants into soil and water systems
Unfortunately, this is not the same as “is being”.
Do you reckon China’s management of landfill would be extremely competent and clean compared to their management of the incinerators
If you were to drop the “extremely” from the description, maybe but not necessarily. Let’s see how the cancer statistics look for population centers downwind in a decade or so.
Expecting more or less than coal?
I don’t know. Hard to make those predictions in the absence of good emissions data. I would expect cancer rates to be higher than in comparable areas that are not downwind of a trash burning facility though.
