From the options The impact an existing incinerator can have on the surrounding neighborhood is :  Mercury and lead can be released into the air ( II  only)

When industrial wastes are incinerated in an incinerator some of the wastes might contain lead and mercury which will be released into the atmosphere through the indiscriminate combustion of the industrial wastes.

Toxic chemicals in leachte can leak into the groundwater in an ill-planned  landfill . while the exposure to heavy metals through the contact with the ash is eliminated because the ashes settles in the incinerator and only the incinerator operators come in direct contact with the ashes.  

Hence we can conclude that the  impact an existing incinerator can have on the surrounding neighborhood is  Mercury and lead can be released into the air.
