Lead in the Air

Along the same theme from the WSJ article of how curbing GHG will be effected by the financial crisis, limits to other emissions are raising the same question (do companies lower emissions, or do they go out of business), let's see how the industry that produces lead emission will adapt.

EPA just lowered the limit substantially, and one industry that will have to figure something out quick is trash incineration. No more mass burning to save space, but rather change the focus to better sorting before hand, or harnessing emissions during the process? Incineration is also a main component used in certain waste-to-energy plants, so I'm interested to see how the industry will adapt.
