Measurement and Analysis of PM10 and PM2.5 from Chimneys of Coal-fired Power Plants Using a Light Scattering Method by Dongho Shin, Younghun Kim, Kee-Jung Hong, Gunhee Lee, Inyong Park, Hak-Joon Kim, Yong-Jin Kim, Bangwoo Han, Jungho Hwang

“…Abstract Aerial pollutants emitted from the stacks of coal-fired power plants are considered a major source of fine particulate matter released into the atmosphere. To manage fine and coarse particles in the stacks themselves, it is necessary to know the concentration of fine and coarse particles emitted in real time; the current system to do so is tedious. …”
