Overall: ALT0 is interesting because there is not many incinerators pages on Wikipedia like Detroit waste incinerator and South Bay Incinerator. An alt hook (if it is not deemed interesting enough) could be something like "Did you know... a 2019 investigation by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) revealed the employees of the Curtis Bay Incinerator routinely mishandled biomedical waste?". ALT1 is also quite interesting but "a study found" could be added to make it a bit more accurate. Sahaib (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
