Abstract

Emissions control alternatives that attain overall tonnage reduction goals of 15-90% from baseline were developed using three approaches: uniform reductions at all major sources, reductions at the largest emitters first, and reductions at sources with the greatest health impacts per ton first. The peak SO₂ concentrations, health impacts, and the distribution of impacts across the population were considered. Results of the full-scale case study showed that reductions at sources with the greatest health impacts per ton of SO₂ emitted can have the greatest health benefits and also can improve the distribution of health impacts. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the A&WMA's 109th Annual Conference & Exhibition (New Orleans, LA 6/20-23/2016).
