Abstract

The Sudbury basin, Ontario is the source of more than 60% of the free world's nickel and is also a major producer of copper, iron, cobalt and other metals. The sulfur dioxide and particulate discharge from the Sudbury smelters have been described and discussed in a number of publications and information will also be presented at the present conference.
