Ignoring Emissions of Hg from Coal Ash and Desulfurized Gypsum Will Lead to Ineffective Mercury Control in Coal-Fired Power Plants in China.

In this article the authors discuss how ignoring emissions of mercury (Hg) from coal ash and desulfurized gypsum will lead to ineffective Hg control in coal-fired power plants in China. Topics include the environmental impact of Hg, increased coal consumption in thermal power plants due to rapid economic development, and the importance of Hg emission control measures at coal-fired power plants.
