Tarong Power Station emissions 2008-9
http://www.npi.gov.au/npidata/action/load/emission-by-individual-facility-result/criteria/state/QLD/year/2008/jurisdiction-facility/Q019TAR001
Mercury and compounds - 37kgs
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - 22 kgs
Xylenes - 49 kgs
Volatile organic carbon cmpds - 68,000 kgs
Lead and compounds - 260 kgs
Fluorides and cmpds - 170,000 kgs
Sulphur dioxide - 11,000,000 kgs
Sulphuric acid - 120,000 kgs
Nitrogen oxides -17,000,000 kgs
Many of these are not world's best practice but are allowed because Australia has very slack (for OECD) emissions standards e.g. for SO2, NOx, fluorine, mercury.
DERM is apparently happy that these emissions are allowed to continue, i.e. Tarong power station has not been shut down.
