Saint-Gobain Emballage, the container glass subsidiary of the French building materials conglomerate, has invested more than EUR 5 million (USD 7.3 million) to install a gas purification system at its plant in Saint-Romain-le-Puy, southern France, local news portal Usine Nouvelle reported on 26 November 2007. The system uses an electric filter to remove lead and dust particles and then expels the purified gases through a 42-metre high smokestack. The installation of the system brings the plant into line with French legislation on harmful atmospheric emissions.
