Abstract

The Anaconda smelter has emitted thousands of tons of air pollutants (primarily sulfur dioxide and metal particulates) since the time of its initial construction in the late 1880s until its permanent closure in 1980. One result of this pollution has been the deposition of tremendous quantities of trace metals on the surrounding environment.

Comments
