Abstract
The oxidation rate of sulphur dioxide to sulphate in the Nanticoke coal-fired power plant plume was measured at distances of 3–43 km during fumigation conditions in June 1978; the average rate was 4 % h −1. Airborne measurement of SO 2, O 3, b scat , paniculate sulphate and paniculate nitrate were made over Lake Erie during the same period. These were compared to 4-day back-trajectories: south to south-westerly trajectories associated with the western or back side of high pressure systems led to high concentrations and the north to north-westerly trajectories associated with the eastern or front side of high pressure systems correlated with low pollutant concentrations.
