Air quality modelling

This type of modelling helps predict the ground level concentration and deposition of air pollutants from a variety of sources.

Ground level ambient concentrations of pollutants are predicted using information such as:

Meteorological data (wind speed, temperature)
Terrain characteristics
Land use (urban /rural)
Pollutant source information (mass emission rate/stack gas temperature/flow rate)

Results from this modelling are used to determine if an air pollutant source is in compliance with ambient air quality objectives.
