Smelter nonferrous

The ICS/SCS control system has been used for control of emissions from nonferrous smelters. Discuss at least one such active system in terms of its success or failure. Discuss the reasons why the interstate air pollution control region concept has failed in the United States.

The production of elemental sulfur and sulfuric acid is at present by far predominantly performed worldwide by recovering at petroleum refineries, natural-gas-process-ing plants and cooking plants, whereas the byproduct sulfuric acid (e.g., in the USA) representing about 11% of sulfur in all forms is recovered at nonferrous smelters...

In the BCS, men and women ranging in age from 20 to 80 years and living near nonferrous smelters were evaluated for relationship of SBP and DBP with PbB (Staessen et al., 1993). No link was observed for DBP in men or women, while an anomalous inverse relationship was seen in men for PbB and SBP and no relationship with SBP and PbB in women. Sample sizes in this study were 827 and 821 for men and women, respectively.
