Application of long range transport models to New York State's sulfur dioxide emissions policy
Abstract
During 1983 and 1984 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) analyzed various options for a sulfur dioxide emissions policy and prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The environmental impact of sulfur dioxide emissions that was of major interest was the acidification of surface waters by the deposition of sulfur compunds in areas that are sensitive to such acidification because of a lack of natural buffering. A significant portion of the preparation of this DEIS centered around determining the contribution that New York State sources make to the deposition of SO/sub 2/ and sulfate at a number of locations in Northeastern North America. This paper describes the application of two long range transport models to determine the contribution of SO/sub 2/ emission sources within and outside New York State to total sulfur deposition at the locations of interest. Also discussed is the subsequent use of this data in the development of a policy of sulfur dioxide emission reductions for New York State.
