The pros and cons of incineration?

Answer 1

Pros:
Reduces volume of solid waste
In a few cases the solid waste is safer after burning
Destroys biological threats, such as biohazard waste from medical facilities
Burning some materials can create ash that is useful for fertilizer
Can trap all emissions in filters, but production and disposal of filters may be hazardous.
Can be used to boil water and turn a turbine generator to make energy

Cons:
Instead of having discrete solid mater, you have airborne contamination
Filters can have very concentrated levels of highly dangerous substance
May change the chemical properties for the worse
Breaks down large objects into dust size particles that may be more difficult to contain.

I hope this will help.
