GUANGZHOU: Residents of the Panyu district in this southern city are strongly opposed to the construction of a planned garbage incinerator in their neighborhood, according to the results of a questionnaire released yesterday.

Some 92 percent of respondents said they believed the project would seriously harm their health and the natural environment nearby, and more than 97 percent opposed the construction of the incinerator.

The survey was conducted by the Guangdong provincial social research and study center following a public petition signed last week by many residents opposing the construction.
