Maybe (probably?) it isn't better than a regulated landfill. I still think
incineration of any mercury is a mistake because "the concepts of mercury
toxicity are increasingly clear." Unless the technology has changed in the past
decade, it is extremely difficult and usually impossible to remove mercury from
an incinerator's waste stream.

It's unsafe to eat fish from hundreds of miles of rivers and streams and many
hundreds of lakes in Maine because of mercury pollution that falls from the air
from industrial processes, coal-burning power stations and incinerators to the
south and west.
