Eraring Coal Power Station releases 45,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide
Eraring Coal Power Station reports releasing 45,000,000kg of sulfur dioxide in the year to 30 June 2019, the second highest amount of any Australian power station.
The Australian government links repeated or prolonged exposure to moderate concentrations of sulfur dioxide to inflammation of the respiratory tract, wheezing and lung damage.
