A slide presentation is given that discusses control strategies to meet current and future regulations. Most new regulations will require incremental reductions in specific emissions creating a market for technologies that can be retrofitted to existing systems. Since most metals are associated with particulate matter, improving particle collection will lead to reduced metal emissions and the disposal of sorbents used for capturing vapor phase pollutants, e.g., SO{sub 2} and Hg, can dominate the economics of the process.
