Specialty: particulate mercury analysis

• Determine the size distribution of particles emitted from the sources.
• Determine the metal content of the particles, with emphasis on Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, As, Se and Hg and the amount of total gaseous mercury (TGM) emitted from the sources.
• Determine the distribution of metals by particle size for metals with high source strength.
• Determine the ability of clouds to scavenge the particles and mercury.
• Apply the knowledge gained in (a) through (d) in models to estimate the concentration in air and the deposition to the surface, on both local and regional scales, of the metals emitted by these sources.
• Use the results of (e) to assess the influence of potential emission control strategies.
