This report summarizes extensive analyses of air quality that examine the impact of the emission and subsequent long-range transport of coal-generated sulfur pollutants from major coal-burning utility and industrial installations. Air quality impacts based upon the National Energy Plan were projected for the years 1985 and 1990, using the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) air quality model. Comparisons were made with recent air quality data that are also used to check the long-range atmospheric transport and transformation model.
