Summary
Applications of computer models for air transport (ATM) and hydrologic transport (HTM) to determine the pathways of trace elements in the environment are discussed. Computed data and measured data are compared for potentially toxic contaminants found in gaseous wastes from fossil-fuel power plants. It is pointed out that meteorological data are required for the air transport model and that for each source it is necessary to know the emission rate, source height, and location relative to the receptor point. Results of studies on ground level SO/sub 2/ concentrations in ..mu..g/m/sup 3/ as a function of distance from a proposed fossil-fuel power plant, the environmental impact of an existing power plant on its surroundings, and in monitoring a 98 hectare watershed for nutrient elements (K, Na, Ca, Mg, N, and P) are discussed.
