If Governments are interested in reducing 60% the emission of PM and Pollutant Gases the industrial process generates when using all kind of fossil fuels, like oil, gas, coal and iron ore, it should contact who has the technology Selective Switching that allows this reduction.
* Performing the1st Upgrade in an industrial ESP installed in Vitória/ES - Brasil, with partial conclusion scheduled for Oct/18.
* This ESP Upgrade will allow to retain 100% of PM 0.1 micron to PM 10 micron which is currently not retained. The mass of particulate that will be retained represents 60% of all current pollution released into the atmosphere.
* Parallel to this, it is being initiated the construction of the 1st ESP containing the Selective Switching technology, which will be the ESP-SS.
* Is under evaluation the use of an device, the ACI - Activated Carbon Injector - that will be installed in the ESP-SS, transforming it into the industrial filter ESP-SS/ACI.
* This ESP-SS/ACI, able to filter and retain 100% of PM 0.1 micron to PM 10 micron, will also be capable of filtering and retaining an immense amount of Gases produced in industrial processes, which today require retention systems of post-treatment, usually complex and very expensive.
* In a 2nd stage, with the improvement of Relay LP 100 KV, the ESP-SS/ACI will be able to retain 98% of the total of the current mass of PMs and gases released into the atmosphere, since PMs less than 0.1 microns will also be withheld.

Coal fired plants harming the unborn resulting in premature births and the related costly health issues.
In the Business Day section of today's paper, the article on page 1 by Emily Flitter discusses the top banks bankrolling coal businesses. The trump administration already supports the coal business.
Unborn at risk and facing ills after birth with the blessing of the others making $$$$.
There was a study published several years ago in the Journal of the Autism Society of America that showed statistically that the closer you lived to a coal fired power plant in Texas, the greater were the chances that you would give birth to a child with autism.
It would be valuable and scientifically beneficial if similar studies were performed for coal burning power plants in other states, such as Kentucky and West Virginia. One wonders if the data already exists and simply needs to be retrieved and collated.

Though there are many pollutants from power plants, mercury is the very toxic substance causing all the kind of health issues including birth-related problems, similar to Nichols Bakalar’ article on mercury in the fish. Vaporized mercury is also found in the oil and gas producing area. Recent article about a runner encountered a mysterious and neurological illness is, I believe, also caused by vapourized mercury, though many reader doctors listed all the kind of causes. None of them guessed the cause mercury as I expected. Medical schools do not teach these doctors about metal and chemical toxicity much, I guess. How many doctors can treat people suffering from Persistent Organic Polutants (POP), a typical modern-day illness from pollution?

"A Runner’s Mysterious Illness, With Her Dad at Her Side" NY Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/well/live/runner-cross-country-myster...
My observation:
1. It seems that she is from Oklahoma, an oil/natural gas producing area.
2. All symptoms she mentions lead to mercury poisoning that I learned from more than ten experts.
3. No doctors could not treat her....... A typical case that most of the doctors, generalists or specialists, have no training of detoxification of heavy metals.
This is the scary situation that we are all exposed to without realizing.
Yet another reason to go with clean energy - solar and wind.

Hi Nicholas, I think you've got your link to the original article wrong. It links to article about fertility in the journal Environmental Health. Here is the correct link! https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwy110/4996680
