Mercury Measurement and Its Control: What We Know, Have Learned, and Need to Further Investigate.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through the Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC), manages the largest funded program in the country for developing (1) an understanding of mercury emissions, (2) measurement of these emissions, and (3) control technology (-ies) for these emissions for the U.S. coal-fired electric generating industry. DOE has initiated, or has collaborated with other government and industrial organizations in, these and other efforts relating to mercury and other hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), also known as air toxics. One of DOE's first reports on trace elements in coal was conducted from 1976 through 1978 by researchers at DOE's Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC, now FETC) and the Pittsburgh Mining Operations of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Mines. The report was completed less than two years after DOE was formed, and 13 years before Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments was enacted (Cavallaro et al., March 1978).
