There are fourteen coal-fired power plants in North Carolina, with Carolina Power and Light and Duke Power having seven each. Rules adopted in October 2000 require these plants to emit 69 percent less nitrogen oxide in five years than currently. The challenge in doing this is whether the aging plants can reduce ozone-causing gases and still keep the power flowing.

Abstract:
Tropospheric ozone, a key component of photochemical smog, is a significant hazard to biological systems. Ozone is of particular concern in highly populated urban regions where large numbers of people may be exposed to unsafe concentrations, resulting in impaired respiratory function and an increased risk of heart disease. This article explores the spatial and temporal distribution of tropospheric ozone within the Carolina Piedmont megapolitan area, and the influence of urban agglomerations over regional air quality.
