Although an effective gold standard treatment, incineration increasingly challenged by communities others, costly operation, carries substantial compared with alternate technologies. The processes considered, reappraisal structure plan policy from health premises. Addressing forgotten issues management, challenging established approaches segregation, requirements practical, flexible, evidence-based presented. This provides building blocks needed shape refine policy, safely manage minimal while support delivery resource utilization.
