Other waste reduction can be realized by the better production scheduling, use of dry filters in the spray booth, prevention of leakage from the spray gun, separation of wastes, and recycling of solvents by distillation.

Powder and sponge may be compacted at 0.7 GPa (6900 atm) into bars which are presintered at 1400—1500°C in vacuum. The bars then are resistance-heated in high vacuum to slightly below the melting point. After cooling, the bars are roUed to consoHdate the pores and are resintered at 2300°C to yield a fabricable metal product of 98% theoretical density.

In 1973, global consumption of nickel was 660,000 tons and that of the United States 235,000 tons (Sevin 1980). End uses of nickel in the United States in 1973 were transportation (21%), chemicals (15%), electrical goods (13%), fabricated metal products (10%), petroleum (9%), construction (9%), machinery (7%), and household appliances (7% IARC 1976). A similar pattern was evident for 1985 (Table 6.3). In 1988, 40% of all nickel intermediate products consumed was in the production of steel 21% was in alloys, 17% in electroplating, and 12% in super alloys (USPHS 1993). The pattern for 1985 was similar (Table 6.3). In Canada, nickel is the fourth most important mineral commodity behind copper, zinc, and gold. In 1990, Canada produced 197,000 tons of nickel worth 2.02 billion dollars and was the second largest global producer of that metal (Chau and Kulikovsky-Cordeiro 1995). Most of the nickel used in the United States is imported from Canada and secondarily from Australia and New Caledonia (USPHS 1977). 

The Climate Change Levy, which takes effect in the UK on 1 st April, 2001, is considered. The Levy was conceived as a measure to encourage industry to cut carbon dioxide emissions. Industry claims that the measure is ill-thought out, unfair and could even be counterproductive. The opposing views are discussed. Data are presented on the effect of the Levy on the costs of the worst-hit sectors, including plastic products, recycling (non-metal), rubber products, automotive, fabricated metal products and aeronautics.

The application of paint is practiced within most fabricated metal industries. Surface coatings are used wherever it is desired to provide decoration, protection, and/or safety marking to a product or item. Most paint coatings for fabricated metal products are solvent based although many shops are replacing these with water based materials. Because many of the paints contain heavy metals, reducing paint wastes also results in reducing metal wastes. 

Preliminary data from a second workplace survey, the 1980-1983 National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) conducted by NIOSH, indicated that 67,054 workers, including 15,763 women, in 3,123 plants were potentially exposed to silver in the workplace in 1980 (NIOSH 1984a). These estimates were derived from observations of the actual use of silver (67% of total estimate) and the use of trade name products known to contain the compound (33%). The largest number of workers were exposed in the primary metal industries, business services, health services, instruments and related products industries, and fabricated metal products industries.
