Abstract

This paper provides perspectives on atmospheric pollution in the former USSR, and the technological factors which influence the levels of these emissions. The first part of the paper provides an estimate of the scale of atmospheric pollution in the former USSR, with particular reference to acid rain emissions in general and from the power generation industry in particular; followed by a discussion of recent and future fuel preferences in the former Soviet region. This discussion is then followed by descriptions of the combustion processes used in the power generation industry in the former USSR, with attention being drawn to the levels of SOx and NOx emissions from these various fuels and processes. These emissions are compared with those from advanced combustion processes used in Western countries, and the paper is then concluded with a list of those technologies which are the most likely candidates for transfer to the former USSR for the reduction of acid rain emissions.
