Infant Mortality

In 2009, researcher Michael Ryan mapped ONS map date from the previous five years. It showed greater infant mortality in wards closes to an incinerator. It demonstrated upto 8.5 infant deaths per 1000 live births more of those living closest to an incerator compared to areas further away.

For balance, it is worth noting that incinerators are more likely to be in more deprived areas whether further health detriment may result in adverse healt impacts.
