Coal-fired power plants are the major source of electrical power generation in the United States. Coal combustion produces air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, which in heavy concentrations are known to inhibit the growth of trees. In 1980 the AEP Picaway power plant in Central Ohio shut down its short, roof-mounted smokestacks and began directing all emissions through an 88-meter smokestack. The assumption was made that the amount of pollutants reaching Acer Saccharinum (silver maple) trees within 3.5 km of the plant was then reduced. This study was an attempt to discover if these theoretically reduced pollutant levels had a positive effect on the ...
