Flue Gas Desulfurization Gypsum as a Soil Amendment for Phosphorus Reduction in Agricultural Drainage: Ohio Field-Scale and Plot-Scale Studies
Laboratory research has indicated that applying flue gas desulfurization gypsum (a by-product of power plant scrubbers) to agricultural fields can reduce phosphorus runoff. In this study, EPRI measured the effectiveness of gypsum at working farms, applying it on eight Ohio farms and monitoring phosphorus concentrations in edge-of-field drainage over three years.
