Andersen Equation

The Andersen Equation is a method used to estimate how much of a pollutant or substance in the environment is due to natural sources versus human activities. It considers factors like background levels (natural presence), local emissions (human-made sources), and how the substance spreads or transforms in the environment. By analyzing measurements and these factors, the equation helps differentiate whether observed pollution is mainly from natural sources or caused by human actions, aiding in effective environmental management and policy decisions.
