The Department of Energy has developed a program to assess the toxics emissions from coal-fired power plants. The program involved field testing eight coal-fired utility boilers for the hazardous air pollutants contained in Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Data are presented on the concentrations of specific trace and minor species in all the major input and output streams of the power plants. Emission factors were determined for some of the hazardous air pollutants emanating from the power plant stacks.
