Pollution control regulations

National air pollution control regulations in some instances are preemptive in that they do not allow subsidiary jurisdictions states, provinces,... 

In many countries, provinces or states have enacted air pollution control regulations. Unless or until superseded by national enactment, these regulations are the ones currently in force. In some cases, municipal air pollution control regulatory enactments are the ones currently in force and will remain so unhl superseded by state, provincial, or national laws or regulations,... 

One form of air pollution control regulation limits the pollution concentration at the owner s "fence line." Find an example of this type of regulation and discuss its pros and cons. 

We begin by reviewing the regulatory driving force in the United States for air pollution abatement. To appreciate the objectives of our Federal air pollution control regulations, an understanding of the fate and transport mechanisms in the environment is important. Hence, some general discussions on the behavior of pollutants in the atmosphere are included in this chapter.

MS As are recirculated. The stripped acid gases are fed to a Claus unit" where elemental sulfur is recovered from hydrogen sulfide. In view of air pollution control regulations, the tail gases leaving the Claus unit, R, should be treated for partial removal of the unconverted hydrogen sulfide. Table 3.10 summarizes the stream data.

The use of wells for disposal of industrial wastes dates back to the 1930s, but this method was not used extensively until the 1960s, when it was implemented primarily in response to more stringent water pollution control regulations. 

As was indicated in the previous section, the concentration of iron in the mixed wastewaters ranged from 5980 to 6100 mg/L its pH was 0.7 and zinc concentration was 15 pg/L. Since these wastewaters come only from acid baths and not from other processes of the plant, parameters such as cadmium and fluoride are not encountered. The discharge standards for the metal industry effluents set by the Turkish Water Pollution Control Regulation (Official Gazette, Table 15.7, September 4, 1988) are shown in Table 28.10.1... 

All of the surface effects listed above must be considered in the design of effective pollution control regulations. It is apparent that most current control devices may be poorly equipped to remove the particles with the greatest potential for deleterious environmental effects. 

Recovered sulfur supply predictions depend on explicit assumptions or scenarios concerning the development of specific fuels and the production of sulfide ores. They also depend on a second set of assumptions with respect to sulfur pollution control regulations, the means by which these will be met, and the recursive impact of the controls on the production scenarios. For example, given uncertainties surrounding regenerative flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes, including the sale of sulfur products and concern over process reliability, utilities have been emphasizing throw-away techniques. As new control standards are implemented the disposal... 

Of these, 72 plants (37,279 MWe) were reported to be using low sulfur coal to meet (the then expected) air pollution control regulations. An additional 61 plants (28,601 MWe) were considering flue gas desulfurization (FGD) while one (330 MWe) was undecided.

In the pulping industry, sulfur oxides emissions represent loss of pulping chemical, but the economic loss is apparently not regarded as very serious, at least in this period of relatively abundant and cheap sulfur. In current practice, much sulfur is evidently lost to become either a water or air pollutant (16, 53, 102), but pollution control regulations are forcing increased recovery and recycling of sulfur and other pulping chemicals. The need to increase heat recovery and use should also influence emission controls. 

With the introduction of the EPA in 1990 specific industrial processes were targeted for control under Section 1 of the Act with the implementation of the Integrated Pollution Control Regulations (IPC). Requirements for the chemical industry are set out under Section 4 of the IPC regulations. Under this system, potentially polluting processes must be identi-...
