This three-part book considers the effects of sulphur compounds and other related air pollutants on health and environment. It reviews available technologies for controlling sulphur emissions; and conducts a cost-benefit analysis of alternative programs for sulphur emission control in the ECE region. Part One documents the effects of sulphur compounds on aquatic ecosystems; soil, groundwater, and vegetation; various materials, including historical and cultural monuments; visibility; and personal health. Part Two examines technologies for reducing the sulphur content of fuels, modifying combustion gases, utilizing recovered materials, and disposing waste products from desulphurization technologies. Part Three analyzes the cost and benefits of alternative programs for sulphur emission control, discussing methodological approaches and data requirements and providing an example of a probabilistic approach to a cost-benefit analysis of different sulphur emission control scenarios.
