CALPUFF

CALPUFF is a computer model used to predict how air pollutants from sources like factories, vehicles, or power plants spread and disperse over time and distance. It helps scientists and regulatory agencies understand potential impacts on air quality and health by simulating the movement, transformation, and removal of pollutants in the atmosphere. CALPUFF accounts for weather conditions, terrain, and emissions to provide detailed, location-specific forecasts, aiding in the development of effective air quality management strategies and compliance with environmental standards.
