ABSTRACT
Pollution develops in solid fertilizer storage and transport operations from a number of causes. Regulatory as well as ethical requirements of environmental protection, occupational health, and safety dictate that extensive efforts be made to prevent such pollution in the first place and to capture and handle properly pollutants that do escape. Control and collection systems are not inexpensive but can provide a number of benefits to production operations. As is always true in process work, careful engineering can maximize the value obtained and minimize cost. It is customary to focus on the more serious toxic or hazardous sources first, then the less serious nuisance conditions.
