''Acid rain'' has been explained as a transformation product of SO/sub 2/ which is usually transported and transformed in large plumes. Two types of plumes were studied in the Metropolitan St. Louis area: power-plant plumes and urban plumes. Despite the SO/sub 2/ removal along the path of the urban plume, ozone and aerosol contents can increase downwind. Power-plant plumes released by tall stacks had a constant sulfur flow between 6 and 30 miles downwind and more favorable conditions due to stack height for transformation of SO/sub 2/ into aerosols with high sulfate content. Once the aerosols have been formed, they remain in the atmosphere for a long time. (CAJ)
