Introduction
• Old Millers Point Gasworks was actively in operation mainly making use of coal gas
to produce light (Borowitz, 2013).
• Coal gas was obtained on the carbonization of coal in the vertical retorts (Samer,
2017).
• The smooth running of the company was brought to a halt after the onset of
plagues in Sydney.
• The cause of the epidemic was associated with the coal in the Millers Point
Gasworks.
• underground remnants have significantly exposed the visiting tourists of the
pollution dangers (Maitland, 2014).
• Australia is gradually experiencing a reduction in tourist-generated income (Joseph
M. Cheer, 2017).

Literature Review
• Modern technologies are arising every other day used in facilitating the cleaning of
the metals globally (Hasegawa, 2015).
• However, certain disadvantages associated with specific technologies result in it
not being used in facilitating the cleaning process.
• Phytoremediation is one technique I got to learn of; it is used to clean up the
metals from the ground (Odile Schwarz-Herion, 2015).
• Coal pollution did lead to increased acid rain, and acid drains damage that led to
water pollution (Förstner, 2012).
• Application of sulfate-reducing bioreactor played a significant role in the reduction
of the impact of acid rain (Liu, 2015).
• The cons associated with the technique was that it was ineffective in controlling
substantial scale pollution.
