Environmental Measurements of Power Plant Cooling Tower and Stack Plumes. Final Report

摘要

The focus of this program was to establish the reality and magnitude of any environmental changes caused by the plumes from large evaporative cooling towers through a comprehensive set of measurements taken from a research aircraft. Results are divided into three sections: (1) structure and dynamics of cooling tower plumes; (2) chemical transformation of SO sub 2 to sulfates in coal-fired power plant plumes; and (3) drift deposition studies.
