Air pollution is produced by the emission of gases and particulates resulting from incineration of
animal carcasses and laboratory supplies such as animal bedding that may contain experimental
chemicals, drugs, and other toxins. The resulting release of toxic substancesis due to processes
common to all industries as well as totoxins specifically produced by incineration of animal carcasses.
Incineration is an environmental concern due to fuel consumption tomaintain required temperatures,
the disposal of ash from incineration in landfills, and resultant air pollution.
