Pollutant Measurements in Plumes from Power Plants and Cities - St. Louis Area, July 1976. A Project MISTT (Midwest Sulfur Transformation and Transport) Report

摘要

Airborne measurements of aerosols and pollutant gases in urban and power plant plumes were conducted during July 1976 in the vicinity of St. Louis, Missouri. The measurements, performed as part of Project MISTT, were designed to characterize the physical and chemical behavior of these plumes under a variety of meteorological conditions. The airborne data were analyzed to gain a better understanding of the factors affecting the transport, transformation, and removal of primary and secondary pollutants, particularly those containing sulfur. The field program and experimental techniques are described, and the results and conclusions of the analyses of the airborne measurements and meteorological data are presented.
