NC State University 5-Year AERMOD/AERMET air pollution dispersion model heat map for the Yarbrough Power Plant stack. The highest predicted pollution concentrations from the stack are located at Poe Hall and at the roof level, where the HVAC units are located. The Yarbrough plant has burned coal, oil, and natural gas over its 100-year lifespan. Poe Hall is located 500′ away and is predominantly downwind from the power plant. The buildings built up around the power plant add to the downwash of the pollution and increase concentrations near Poe Hall.
