TOXIC DEBT<br />
Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital<br />
BEFORE THE INCINERATION ban took effect in 2003, the Hoval incinerator of the Bicol<br />
Regional Training and Teaching Hospital was used to burn all of the hospital’s waste,<br />
including what would otherwise be classified as regular municipal solid waste. Even<br />
prior to the incinerator’s decommissioning, the start-up burner in the primary chamber<br />
was no longer working.<br />
