Stanwell Coal Power Station releases 31,500 tonnes of oxides of nitrogen
Stanwell Coal Power Station reports releasing 31,500 tonnes of oxides of nitrogen in the year to 30 June 2019, the most of any Australian power station.
The Australian government says people who live near coal burning power plants may be exposed to higher levels of nitrogen oxides. Even low levels of exposure can impact an individual’s eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
