Abstract This progress report, published in the CEC "Industrial Health and Safety" series, is the third drawn up since the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) commenced its research activities in this field (CIS 962-1970 and 1477-1973, Bdz Soz Xni (056)). It covers work during 1972-1977, and contains summaries of the various projects, divided under 4 main chapters: testing, improvement and development of equipment and processes for determining and measuring air pollution (12 projects summarised); measurement of air pollution at workplace and in the immediate vicinity of steelworks (systematic determination of different air pollutants from coking plant in an iron and steel works complex; controlling dust extraction from charging emissions where preheated coal mixes are used, etc. (13 projects)); investigation and development of processes for trapping and precipitating or reducing, air pollution (purification or toxic fumes produced during slag granulation; dust removal from CO-containing waste gases from oxygen blowing converters by means of electric filters, etc. (9 projects)); and investigation and development of processes for utilisation or non-polluting removal of residues and wastes from iron and steel works (4 projects).
