The rate of incineration in England doubled between 2012 and 2018, reflecting a global trend driven by the international waste crisis. There are currently at least 90 incinerators in the UK, with a further 50 proposed or in development, according to government figures and figures collected separately by anti-incineration group UKWIN. These include municipal waste, medical waste and waste wood incinerators.

The smell is very strong, thick masks can't cover the smell of burning, unstoppable coughing, air pollution Thick yellow smoke visible to the naked eye, there are waste disposal areas, warehouses, open doors where you can drive up and see where garbage trucks come in - all the bushes are full of plastic bags. Passing creeks have obvious outfalls leading to rivers.

I made a simulated device, using translucent materials to represent the foggy state. Because waste incineration-as-energy is a relatively new industry, that is intensifying in central city locations, a lot more research is needed to understand the form of air pollution emerging from incinerators. Hidden dangers are not necessarily visible to our naked eyes. If the earth indeed has boundaries—as traditional mapping implies—then the smoke will not necessarily dissipate. The device expreseses the trapped smoke as a microcosm of the whole.
