Important
Notes:

Industrial
Boilers
again
have
most
of
the
emission
reductions
for
SO
2
(
56%)
and
NOx
(
45%),
bear
the
greatest
share
of
the
costs
(
55%
of
the
total),
and
have
the
most
units
affected
(
379)
under
this
scenario.

Hydrofluoric,
Sulfuric,
and
Nitric
Acid
Plants
have
the
next
most
emission

for
SO

and
Kraft
Pulp

have
the
next
most
