Another thought on landfill dioxin emissions

[Alan Watson <alanwatson@gn.apc.org>]

  Some time ago I remember reading a paper by Professor Rappe of Umea 
  University where he was basically arguing in favour of incineration 
  rather than landfill.  He claimed that landfill dioxin emissions were 
  higher because most landfills caught fire at some stage and thus produced 
  large, uncontrolled emissions.
  
  Not being a great fan of Rappe and generally disagreeing with a lot of 
  his work I can't remember the reference (it may have been a short review 
  in WARMER Bulletin) but this may jog somebody else's memory and turn up 
  the details.  I also can't remember whether he gave any comparative 
  emission data.
  
  Best wishes
