The map shows the (predicted) current state of pollution from the power station at Selby, North Yorkshire. The red line shows wind direction. Green rings show distance (km). Colours show concentration of particulates PM10 at ground level. Maximum: 120 pg/m3. This is the concentration at the location that is most polluted by the plume. CO2 emission rate: 453 kg/s. This is approximately 229 m3/s: enough to fill 1650 typical houses every hour. Breakdown of pollutants at most polluted location (green = background, red = added by plume): Oxides of nitrogen
Particulates PM10
Sulphur Dioxide

The emission rates were reported at 23:20 on Mon, 27 Mar 2023. As well as the toxic pollutants in the plume, carbon dioxide (CO2) is currently being emitted at a rate of 453 kilograms per second. (How is this calculated?) Each hour this is 1631 tonnes, equivalent to a volume of approximately 824854 cubic metres, which is enough to fill 1650 typical houses. See here for an explanation of how these CO2 emissions are accounted for.
