Huge sea of rubbish dumped in Luton deemed a BIOHAZARD with deadly asbestos among the mountain of wa
A HUGE mountain of rubbish dumped in Luton has been branded a biohazard as deadly asbestos is lurking beneath the waste.
The sea of litter has been fly-tipped on the preferred site for the new Luton Town Football Club stadium.
Walls of garbage stretch for 100m down the stinking heap in Bedfordshire.
Shocking pictures show mounds of rubbish including wooden furniture and building waste piled high on the side of the road.
There are also mysterious bin liners containing litter and decaying mattresses and sofas.
The decaying site has now been deemed a biohazard, with a sign on the front saying it contains "dangerous materials including asbestos and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)".
PAHs are a group of more than 100 chemicals released from burning wood or coal and can cause cancer.
The rubbish dump has been used by fly tippers for a while and is directly opposite a busy shopping centre.

Legal notices have been pinned on to a broken fence from 2014 - with the last one running out in just three months.
Although there is mention of CCTV, there doesn't appear to be a security presence on the site.
A local called last week for the rubbish to be removed and claimed it had been left behind by travellers.
The man, who does not wish to be named, complained to the council about travellers parking their caravans, according to Luton Today.
He said: “They arrived at the end of June and the council removed them last month, but the rubbish is still there, three weeks on, it can be seen as your train comes in to Luton and it is starting to smell, what a great welcome. Given the council blocked the road, I think they have taken some responsibility.”
The Sun Online has contacted Luton Borough Council for comment.
