Abstract
The consumption of steel is a major indicator of the rate at which a country is developing. Emerging economies such as China and India markets have developed on the back of products such as steel, aluminum, and alloys. This development have not received much fanfare because of the environmental pollution incurred by the production of this products and at that rapid scale. This paper aims at studying the environmental impact of steel production by identifying the various forms in which pollution occurs in the metal production industry. This study limits itself to understanding the impact of gases evolved from the metal foundry be it from the foundry furnace or the metal mold cast. The study indicates that there is a correlation between the quality of mold cast and the rate of gas emission.
