Air Quality

While the economic benefits of the Coke Works have had a tremendous benefit on Clairton and the surrounding area, there are certain environmental affects and challenges that accompany the cokemaking process. Clairton Works has improved the performance of its facility in recent years and continues to take steps to reduce emissions that affect air quality. However, these improvements will continue into the long term, as repairs and renovations of the facility are expensive and the majority of operating units within the works are more than fifty years old and were not built to meet the environmental standards of today.
