Hearings are underway on the Wisconsin French Island Incinerator. The 
public health impact internationally of this incinerator is significant.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) should shut down the incinerator because of its 
long-term impact on public health internationally. The French Island 
incinerator's dioxin and that of Xcel's Red Wing incinerator are 
appearing in the breast milk of women thousands of miles away, 
endangering their health, and the health of their children. That is an 
unacceptable price to pay.
