It’s funny, I first read “the incinerators exceed the standards” with the (not intended) meaning of “better than required” and it took me a while to get to “the [stuff in the smoke] exceeds the standards” with the intended meaning of “there’s more pollution than allowed”.

Oh good point. I was roughly translating “dépasse périodiquement ses propres normes” and couldn’t quite get it down in English. Suggestions?

The smoke/pollution from the incinerators often exceeds the allowed maximums?
It was clear as I read it that what I understood was wrong, I just took time to figure out what was meant.

That said I don’t think it absolutely needs to be edited.

I read it in a positive manner as in the amount of pollution is less than the standards say it should be.
