Often these sites generate electricity as a byproduct of other industrial processes such as using gas from landfills to drive turbines.

Because of its historical use in Teflon production and other industrial processes as well as its environmental persistence, PFOA contamination is a pervasive problem worldwide.

Unfortunately, mining, waste incineration, and other industrial processes release unsafe quantities of mercury into the environment.

We humans emitted 35.9 metric gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2014, mostly from burning coal and natural gas in power plants, making fertilizer and cement, and other industrial processes.

In thermoelectric materials, efficiency is calculated as the measure of how well it converts heat — often waste heat generated by power plants or other industrial processes — into power.

Inhalable and almost invisible to the eye, this type pollution comes from car exhaust, coal - fired power plants, and other industrial processes.

Perfectly natural, one might think, but the reality is that these products often use citric acid (the main chemical in lemon juice) that is a by - product of some other industrial process.

Shifting to low carbon technologies in energy production and other industrial processes is essential, but requires that we meet our energy service and mobility service needs using much less energy to begin with.

While efforts are being made to devise technical means to capture and sequester carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and other industrial processes, a natural solution which has been proven for hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history lays before us: soils.

A major driver in these efficiency gains has been our increased investment in cogeneration — a technology enabling us to capture heat generated from electricity production that is otherwise wasted, and use it in other industrial processes.

Nothing at all about whether the chemicals are dangerous, are dangerous at the concentrations detected, or whether this is notably different to any other industrial process.
