Around 100 activists invaded the plant of Basingstoke due to open in October 2002. If allowed to start burning household rubbish the new incinerator would emit large quantities of dioxin chemicals that get into the food chain and cause cancer. The Government had recently warned that a third of UK adults and half of Britain's babies and toddlers take in more dioxins that is safe.
