Derby & South Derbyshire Friends of the Earth were set up 25 years ago and have campaigned on many issues including the current, long-running, Derbyshire plastics/biomass incinerator scandal. After a long fight of nearly 20 years, the burner has been built but has been closed for the last 3 years, due to gross air pollution and general nuisance to Derby people. Derby City Council has acknowledged that the incinerator and associated traffic are worsening the immediate Air Quality Management Area, (AQMA) for nitrogen dioxide. The AQMA for particulates was removed after QDF shut, but now needs reinstating, as a new woodwaste burning incinerator has also been built, in this highly industrial/residential area. Sinfin has the highest rates of lung cancer, in Derby. Life expectancy is also a full year less than the national average. Derby children suffer the highest rates of asthma and respiratory problems. Ella Kissi-Debrah, 9 yrs old, died from a severe asthma attack, caused by abysmal air quality in London, 3 yrs ago.
