This report describes the Constanta medical waste incinerator; a facility located in the middle of a block of flats where 2,500 people are living. The study includes the history of incinerator construction and ownership; regulatory actions and laws; the impacts of emissions on human health and the environment; and also suggestions of alternative ways of dealing with medical waste in the Constanta District. The report was released publicly both in English and Romanian.
