    The Doe Run lead smelting plant in Herculaneum, Missouri, the last remaining lead smelter in the United States, will be shutting down at the end of December. This will result in 145 employees losing their jobs, as well as 73 contractor jobs being eliminated. The plant had operated for over a century but is shutting down rather than invest in pollution controls required by the EPA. With the last domestic primary lead smelter closing, the United States will now rely on importing refined lead from other countries like China and Australia. Some argue this could increase costs for ammunition and car batteries.
