An incinerator is a waste management facility that burns solid waste at high temperatures to reduce its volume and mass, converting it into ash, flue gas, and heat. This process helps minimize landfill use and can also generate energy through waste-to-energy technologies. However, incineration raises environmental concerns, such as air pollution and the release of toxic substances if not properly managed. Modern incinerators are equipped with advanced filtration and emission control systems to mitigate these risks.
