As slag is considered chemically inert, it is mixed with cement and is used to construct roads and railroad beds. It is also used for sandblasting. Moreover, it is also added to roofing shingles.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 3 is correct. <\/strong>Copper smelters are the largest source of sulphur oxides (SOx) and trace elements.
