Abstract

An overview is given of recent urban-plume field studies sponsored by the EPA and of related studies sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) and by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The EPA studies were aimed at determining pollution transport, transformation, and removal rates. The studies and projects discussed include the Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS EPA), the Midwest Interstate Sulfur Transport and Transformation (MISTT) project (EPA), the Sulfur Transport and Transformation in the Environment (STATE) program (EPA), the Visibility Impairment due to Sulfur Transport and Transformation in the Atmosphere (VISTTA) program (EPA), the Multi-State Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study (MAP3S DOE), and the Sulfate Regional Experiment (SURE EPRI). It is noted that the projects of the EPA, DOE, and EPRI are coordinated and, taken together, provide a comprehensive national program to study the transport, transformation, and removal of energy-related pollution.
