Glencore’s investment will bring the arsenic level down to 15 nanograms by 2027, according to the plan.
Commodities giant Glencore Plc will invest C$520 million over five years in a copper smelter in northern Quebec to curb toxic emissions that health officials say have caused increased risk of cancer and other problems.
Among the changes, the plant’s operations will be modernized to reduce the number of steps, a high-capacity air cleaning system will be installed to capture dust and a new energy-efficient casting wheel will be built. The smelter will become clean enough to reduce arsenic levels to 3 nanograms or less in 84% of Rouyn-Noranda’s urban perimeter, according to the company’s plan.
