Air emission monitoring of a lead plant in KCM-SA, Bulgaria
The aim of the present study is to monitor the emission pollution from the lead plant in KCM-SA, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. With a production of 60000 t/yr, the plant is the largest lead producer, as well as a potentially heavy polluter, in the country. During the past 15 years the plant has put in considerable resources to dramatically mitigate air, water and soil pollution around the workplace. The results obtained for dust content in waste gases during the period of study show that it is below 10 mg/Nm3, with the data most often varying in the range of 2-8 mg/Nm3. In addition, the content of lead and cadmium in the blood of the workers has been monitored. The workers with lead content in their blood above 600 μg/L are given special attention. The correlation between the workplace and lead content is established and specific protection measures are recommended for the workers engaged in production.
