The ashes of items taken from the Dallas apartment where the man who died from the Ebola virus first became ill will be taken to a Louisiana hazardous waste landfill for burial. The linen, bedding and carpet taken from the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan got sick were taken to the Veolia Environmental Services incinerator in Port Arthur, where they were destroyed Friday. Company spokesman Dan Duncan tells the Beaumont Enterprise that the ash will be analyzed for two days for any remaining contamination before it is sent to the Louisiana landfill. Steam from cooling towers rises above the rotary kiln at Veolia Environmental Services in Port Arthur, Texas. Items from the Dallas home where Thomas Duncan took ill were incinerated here at temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees. Still, locals were concerned about the risks
