AIR DISPERSION MODELING
Mathematical calculations for predicting the dispersion
behavior of air pollutants emitted into the atmosphere
Air dispersion models are used to estimate thedownwind concentration of pollutants emitted byvarious pollution sources, from industrial and vehicular
sources.
Dispersion models are typically used to demonstratecompliance regulatory standards.
Decision makers can compare exposures to somebenchmark (state regulatory thresholds or a level witha known health effect.)

Purpose of Air Quality Modeling
To quantify ambient concentrations ofpollutants or pollutant precursors
To determine optimum locations for siting
pollution monitors
To determine source contributions toconcentration estimates
To develop emission limits for sources

Inadequacy of Ambient Measurements
Ambient air measurement through site survey andsampling cannot be made at all points.
There are chances, during measurement, to miss location
of maximum concentrations.
Also, measurement technique cannot always be used tofully diagnose past episodes
This facility has been recently introduced in Pakistan and
it is highly demanding for air quality assessment

Levels of Model SophisticationRecognized by the Modeling Guidelines
ScreeningRelatively simple estimation techniques that provide
conservative estimates of air-quality impact. Some examplesof screening models are CAL3QHC, CAL3QHCR, COMPLEX1,CTSCREEN, LONGZ, RTDM3.2, SCREEN3, SHORTZ, TSCREEN,
VALLEY and VISCREEN
RefinedAnalytical techniques that provide more detailed treatment of
physical and chemical atmospheric processes, require moredetailed and precise input data, and provide more specialized
concentration estimates. Some examples of refineddispersion models are BLP, CALINE3, CDM2, CTDMPLUS, ISC,ISC-PRIME, OCD, RAM and UAM-IV.

Wind Velocity U for the Model
U = f(z) given by (U/U1) = (z/z1)p, where p depends onatmospheric stability.
Appropriate value of U for dispersion model is the meanvalue through the plume.
If mean U is unavailable, use appropriate U at stack
height. In most cases only U10m is available- thencorrect for U at stack height using above equation.
If no mention of height of measurement of U is madeuse U as mean. If measured height is specified for U,then correct for it to get U at stack height.
