Description
Summary:One method to meet global electricity needs is through the use of coal-fired power plants (PLTU). However, coal-fired power plants face challenges from emissions released into the air containing various air pollutants such as Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Total Suspended Particulates, and Mercury. To study the dispersion patterns of air pollution from coal-fired power plants, the AERMOD View modeling program was used to predict the distribution of air pollutants, providing outputs in the form of predicted maximum concentration increases within the specified study area. The coal-fired power plant studied is located in Probolinggo City, East Java Province. Modeling results indicated that emissions from the studied source could exceed ambient air quality standards for SO2, NO2, and TSP under extreme conditions. When analyzed against the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), all parameters complied with the standards.
