TAUNTON — Aries Clean Technologies and its supporters say its gasification plant, which would deal with the region's sewage sludge and could net millions of dollars for the city, is safe for public health and the environment.
Environmental and public health groups say the opposite, warning that the plant, which would be built on a part of the former landfill site on East Britannia Street, could have toxic air emissions, and would further burden a community that already had to deal with the negative impacts of the landfill, such as smell, noise and pollution.
But what do independent scientists have to say about the plant?
