10. Name two reasons why incinerators are the most expensive form of waste disposal.
a. High capital costs for construction and pollution‑control equipment (filters, scrubbers, and energy‑recovery systems).
a. High operating and maintenance costs (skilled staff, fuel/energy, ash handling and disposal, regulatory compliance).
11. Why must incinerators be carefully monitored?
a. To ensure complete combustion and control emissions of toxic pollutants (dioxins, furans, heavy metals, particulates), meet regulatory limits, and prevent harmful releases to air and ash.
12. Why do engineers and geologists try to find disposal sites that are unlikely to be damaged by movements of the Earth?
a. To avoid earthquakes, landslides, subsidence or flooding that could breach containment and release contaminants into soil and groundwater, protecting people and the environment.
