Wet-collector systems, designed and operated for air-pollution control without concern for or con­ sideration of the stream-pollution effects of their liquid-borne wastes, may cause significant localized pollution of surface and ground water bodies. Wet­ collector systems can be designed with presently known technology to decrease contaminants in effluent outfalls to acceptable levels. Increasi...
