Eighth International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant Special Session:
Understanding Mercury Speciation, Variability, and Operational Impacts on Mercury Control
The steering and regional planning committees requested that proposals be prepared to address emphasis areas of the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant. Each special session proposal was considered by a panel of research peers for merit and contribution to the holistic understanding of the international issues pertaining to mercury as a global pollutant.
John Pavlish, Director of the Center for Air Toxic Metals® (CATM®) and EERC Senior Research Advisor, and David Michaud, WE Energies, coordinated the special session addressing mercury control issues related to coal-fired power plants. Topics presented were deserving of scientific discussion, so that those involved can understand the politics surrounding mercury control, evaluate the options available for mercury control technologies, and make decisions based upon sound scientific knowledge.
