A £650,000 filter system is being installed at a crematorium to stop potentially harmful fumes entering the atmosphere. The government has ordered all crematoria to halve the amount of harmful gases given off by cremations before 2013 — but Overdale Crematorium in Overdale Drive, Heaton, is going one better. Bosses at the crematorium have asked Bolton Council for permission to install the new system which stops mercury — from dental fillings for example — and acid going into the atmosphere. Exposure to high levels of mercury can damage the brain, nervous system and harm fertility.
