Wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems are designed to control air pollution by filtering sulfur dioxide, mercury, and sulfuric acid mist.  However, FGD scrubbers can cause visible plumes of condensed water vapor from their exhaust during certain weather conditions, which can present a public safety nuisance when fog impacts roadways and bridges.
