Enzo, 

Your comment below suggesting that French WTE facilities are
"dirtier" than others caught my attention.

The Chair of our regional Waste Management Committee is off to Paris soon
to look at two incinerators operated by Suez Environnement. Can you (or
another member of this list) advise me whether these facilities fall into
the "dirtiest" category or the "most expensive"
category.

Thanks!

Helen.
