Fight for Clean Air
Breathing easy
Air pollution has been a long standing issue in communities with bigger populations and industry. Staying healthy and keeping our air clean requires active participation by everyone to report visible emissions and smells that are good indicators of our local air quality.
REPORTABLE EMISSIONS
Coke Ovens (Cokemaking)
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Coke ovens release many harmful contaminants that are carcinogenic such as benzene. Emissions can occur from leaking doors, lids, standpipes and collection main.
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Coke Oven Battery (COB) stacks are a common and high source of particulate and contaminants. Generally, darker emissions indicate higher amounts of contaminants.
Cokemaking operations
Stack Emissions (Cokemaking)
Bleeder Valves (Ironmaking)
Charging (filling coke ovens with coal) and pushing (removing coke from the ovens) can results in large visible emissions when there are operational difficulties or deficiencies
Bleeder Valves (Ironmaking)
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
Bleeder Valves (Ironmaking)
The process of making molten iron in a blast furnace can result in a upset where bleeder valves open. When they open, they can release high levels of particulates and gases.
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
The removal of molten iron (tapping) from a blast furnace can result in the release of high amounts of particulate, often as iron oxides. They are normally captured by a baghouse.
BOSP Emissions (Steelmaking)
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
Casthouse Emissions (Ironmaking)
The addition of molten iron and alloys to basic oxygen and ladle metallurgy furnaces to make steel can release numerous contaminants including heavy metals.
