A power plant situated 20 km directly upwind from a protected old-growth forest emits SO2 at a rate of 120 g s-1with an effective stack height of 100 m (uH= 2 m s-1). Environmentalists claim that the acidic deposition is damaging the valuable forest. If the forest is considered to be negatively affected at levels exceeding 300 ?g m-3, use your knowledge of atmospheric transport to determine whether the environmentalists' case is justified.
