Aquaculture using waste heat involves utilities at three sites working with rainbow trout, freshwater shrimp, American eels, and striped bass; lobster; and catfish. Agricultural projects consist of demonstration and pilot scale greenhouses. Some 50 reports have been prepared by several consultants for the electric utility rate design study. Time-differentiated rates and load controls are being examined. (1 table)

It is pointed out that definitive answers cannot be possible because of the lack of scientifically credible, consistent, long-term data on trends. Various specific programs now under way to collect adequate data are highlighted. Researchers are not yet able to predict

Horizontal distribution, seasonal variation, relationship between wet deposition and precipitation amount, sulfate/nitrate ratio, and transport of sulfate from the ocean are discussed. Temporal trends in concentrations of atmospheric sulfur compounds and sulfate wet deposition in the model region are also covered.

The annual emissions rate for fossil-fuel related sulfur was estimated for a 80 km mesh grid using energy consumption and industrial activity data for the region. The total sulfur dioxide emissions from this area as sulfur were about 11.5 TgS y-1, almost equal to the emissions in north-western Europe or the north-eastern U.S. which are regions where acid deposition occurs. Emissions from mobile sources were found to be relatively small, while coal-fired stationary sources contribute a large part of the sulfur dioxide emissions in East Asia.
