Another major pr...Very informative and interesting. Another major producer of mercury emissions is chlorine plants. Chlorine plants have been using mercury in their production for well over 100 years in the United States. Much of this mercury escapes through “fugitive emissions” – and then on top of that, many chlorine plants have unaccounted for mercury losses that make their way into the environment.<BR/>However, there is a solution. Newer membrane cell technology eliminates the need for mercury use in chlorine plants. Already 90% of the industry uses this technology, and there are ongoing campaigns to make chlorine production completely mercury-free. To learn more about this campaign check out the <A HREF="http://www.oceana.org/north-america/what-we-do/stop-seafood-contamination/chlorine-plant-campaign/" REL="nofollow"><BR/>Oceana website. </A>Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554132894659923602noreply@blogger.com
