Dispersion model
Definition
A dispersion model, in the context of environmental science and air quality management, is a mathematical and computational tool used to simulate the spread and dispersion of pollutants or contaminants in the atmosphere. These models are crucial for assessing the impact of various sources of air pollution, such as industrial facilities, traffic emissions, and natural events like wildfires, on air quality and public health.
Definition and Description
A dispersion model is a mathematical and computational instrument employed to simulate the dispersal and propagation of pollutants or contaminants within the atmosphere. These models play a critical role in evaluating how different sources of air pollution, including industrial sites, traffic emissions, and natural occurrences such as wildfires, affect air quality and the well-being of the public.
