THE COST OF CLEAN AIR POLICY

Past and current cleaning of the air through restrictions on cement plant emissions (and on lime plants and calcareous aggregate quarries and pits) have reduced the ten to twenty million tons of solid kiln emissions that the industry produced each year to a trickle. The article describes however, how this has had an effect on the increase of acid rain, been a cause of alkali-aggregate reaction, caused cement burns, and decreased concrete performance. The article notes the need for research in this area.
