Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to estimate the environmental pollutants emitted from a thermal power plant’s chimney. The power plant emission distribution during the 8-hour and average annual periods was modeled using the AERMOD and compared with national and international standards from December 22 2019 to September 21 2020. When the use of mazut fuel, the PM10, NOX, CO concentrations as fuel burn are less than the national and international standard. The maximum CO concentration at the 8-hour time interval is 0.15, which indicates power plants have a smaller share of CO emissions in an urban environment.
期刊介绍：
Toxin Reviews provides an international forum for publishing state-of-the-art reviews and guest-edited single topic special issues covering the multidisciplinary research in the area of toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms. Our aim is to publish reviews that are of broad interest and importance to the toxinology as well as other life science communities. Toxin Reviews aims to encourage scientists to highlight the contribution of toxins as research tools in deciphering molecular and cellular mechanisms, and as prototypes of therapeutic agents. Reviews should emphasize the role of toxins in enhancing our fundamental understanding of life sciences, protein chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, clinical toxinology and evolution. Prominence will be given to reviews that propose new ideas or approaches and further the knowledge of toxinology.
