Atmospheric dispersion modeling

Atmospheric dispersion modeling is a scientific method used to predict how pollutants, such as gases or airborne particles, spread in the air from a specific source, like a factory or vehicle. It takes into account various factors, including weather conditions (like wind speed and direction), terrain, and the characteristics of the pollutants. By using mathematical equations and computer simulations, researchers can estimate the concentration of these substances at different locations and times. This helps in assessing air quality, understanding potential health impacts, and guiding regulatory decisions to protect both the environment and public health.
