COMMENCEMENT ’90: A Historic Occasion: Beating the Odds

Commencement Speech by Marian Wright Edelme

Air quality implications associated with the selection of power plants in the Pacific Northwest

This assessment models emission inventories and pollutant emission rates for fossil fuel power plants. Ground-level air concentration of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and TSP are predicted. Pollutant deposition, non-acidic deposition, acidic deposition, ozone impacts, and visibility attenuation are considered. Human health effects, wildlife effects, effects on plants and crops, and residual environmental impacts are estimated from predicted emissions
