Abstract
A study of the “before” and “after” ground-level S02 concentrations near the Muskingum River Plant of the American Electric Power System shows that the conversion from low to high stacks has accomplished marked reductions in ambient concentrations. These reductions are in reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations and are most apparent within 5 km of the source. EPA Standards are now being met in this area despite the presence of the 1440 MW power plant burning 5% sulfur fuel with no treatment of the stack gas.Keywords
