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.
