For these reasons, and to magnitude more mercury than petroleum (Linak et al., avoid confusion, this report has instead used the terms "exposed" or "unexposed" to distinguish carbon that has "seen" chemical agent 2000) , the Clean Air Mercury Rule affected mainly at least once from carbon that has never been exposed to agent but coal-fired power plants, which account for slightly less may contain other contaminants.

For this and ACTIVATED CARBON FROM COMMERCIAL other reasons, the control of mercury emissions from AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS power plants by the use of activated carbon is an area of active research. There are essentially three commercial treatment/ Activated carbon has been used for several decades disposal methods for the spent activated carbon resultto treat the gaseous products of combustion result- ing from its commercial and industrial use: ing from medical and municipal waste incineration facilities (collectively termed MWIs)
