Mercury Regulation The Right Degree

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has already developed emission limits for hazardous waste combustors, medical waste incinerators, and municipal waste combustors that will reduce emissions by an average of 93 percent. Total mercury emissions from these sources will go from about 100 tons per year to about 7 tons. An emission limitrnfor chlor-alkali plants (which produce chlorine and caustic sodas, among other things) will soon be proposed.
