Research abstract
The emission of mercury into the atmosphere from combustion sources has increasingly become a major environmental and health concern. The recent Clean Air Act Amendments have called for close scrutiny and possible limits on mercury emissions. Unfortunately, because it is in the form of a vapor or submicron aerosol in gas streams, elemental mercury has proven very difficult and expensive to control.
