Most research laboratories dispose of animal corpses and their beddings by in cremation. There is a high content of laboratory chemicals, toxins and unknown drugs that make the corpses and other equipments involved in the research labs a treat to both the environment and the well being of people.The harmful consequences of incineration of laboratory animals and equipments is demonstrated in a study conducted in Taiwan. This shows that gases from animal corpses ashes (such as iron, nickel, zing) contain a higher amount of toxic heavy metal waste than the medical waste incinerators. Thus, when animal corpses that are contaminated with high levels of toxic waste in research labs incinerated, the particulate matter and air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide contribute to global
