The quality of environment at work place plays a dominant role in maintaining higher degree of plant availability, productivity, quality and the health of the employees. In an integrated iron and steel plant Blast Furnaces and Steel Melting Shops contribute to more than 70% of the dust pollution . This paper describes briefly the innovative technologies in use at Steel Plants to control pollution during Iron and Steel making processes . The technologies likely to dominate future scenario are also described briefly.
