Industrial pollution and control measures for a foundry in Cyprus

Control of pollution emitted by foundries

“…The conclusion is that the usage of coke less cupola will result in controlling the pollution requiring lesser investment. Fatta et al (2004) have drawn valuable information from the literature arena to prescribe the methods of reducing the emission of pollutants from the foundry units. This prescription has been given under the title guidelines for foundries.…”

Contemporary and futuristic views of pollution control devices in foundries

“…It is high time that, the researchers are conducted in India to provide solution for sustaining the foundries units in India. Fatta et al (2004) have traced the pollution control activities carried out in Cyprus. Further, they have discussed the application of pollution control standards and principles in foundries located in Cyprus.…”

“…As majority of the products are manufactured using foundry practices (Wang et al, 2007), functioning of foundries had been enabling the economic growth of societies (Fore and Mbohwa, 2010). Though this is a favorable fact, for fueling the growth of foundries in countries, the non-desirable fact is that, foundry practices consume enormous many foundries are yet to install efficient pollution control devices (Krishnaraj et al, 2012;Mukherjee., 2010), In this context, the need of carrying out cleaner production in foundries using efficient pollution prevention control devices is increasingly being realized by the theorists and practitioners (Antunes et al, 2012;Fatta et al, 2004;Pal et al, 2008). This situation has favored the conduct of the literature review reported in this paper.…”

Spatial Distribution Patterns, Sources of Heavy Metals, and Relation to Ecological Risk of Surface Sediments of the Cyprus Northern Shelf (Eastern Mediterranean)

“…Some studies have been carried out on the pollution of plant, wastewater, and soil from mining area of Cyprus (Elderfield et al, 1972;Pyatt, 1999;Yukselen, 2002;Yukselen and Alpaslan, 2001;Fatta et al, 2004;Johansson et al, 2005). However; the studies about Co, As, Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn, Fe, Ni, and Al in shelf sediment from different areas (Duman et al, 2012) are scarce.…”
