Abstract
The air quality and visibility impact of various sizes of power plants, which emit SO2 and NOx at various rates, was analyzed using analysis methods either recommended or likely to be accepted by the EPA. The impact of single power plant plumes and cumulative emissions on a regional scale were considered. Tentative conclusions are made regarding the air quality and visibility impacts of power plants individually and collectively throughout a region and the implications of these impacts for power plant sitings and emissions control.
