Section IV – Ten-year Projections of Mercury Loadings:
4 Industrial Processes for which Projections Could Not be Calculated
No current mercury emissions have been reported from the intentional use of mercury in industrial processes. No additional industry in this sector is known to be planned; therefore no increase has been calculated.
Current mercury emissions from the pulp and paper industry have not been calculated, as data does not exist to allow this calculation, although emissions are believed to be small. Ten-year predictions have therefore not been calculated.
Information does not exist to calculate existing emissions for production of recycled metals ("secondary" metal production), therefore calculation of 10-year predictions of this category is not possible.
