متن کاملMercury Control Alternatives for Coal-fired Power Plants
Coal-fired power plants in the United States may have to reduce their mercury emissions by up to 90% by 2007 2009 due to proposed regulations that could affect up to 1,100 utility boilers. Air pollution control system components such as electrostatic precipitators, baghouses, NOx reduction catalysts, SO2 scrubbers, and their various configurations in utility applications significantly impact me...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed an Information Collection Request (ICR) in 1999 to gather additional information on the control and emission of mercury from coal-fired power plants. The ICR data indicates that a significant, but highly variable, amount of mercury removal can occur across a power plant’s conventional air pollution control (APC) equipment used for the cap...
متن کاملMercury pollution in vegetables, grains and soils from areas surrounding coal-fired power plants
Mercury contamination in food can pose serious health risks to consumers and coal-fired power plants have been identified as the major source of mercury emissions. To assess the current state of mercury pollution in food crops grown near coal-fired power plants, we measured the total mercury concentration in vegetables and grain crops collected from farms located near two coal-fired power plant...
