Chemical Transport Model

A Chemical Transport Model is a computer-based tool used by scientists to simulate how pollutants, gases, and aerosols move and change in the atmosphere. It considers factors like wind, sunlight, and chemical reactions to predict how air quality varies over time and space. These models help us understand pollution sources, forecast air quality, and develop strategies to protect environmental and human health. Essentially, it's a virtual map that shows the journey and transformation of atmospheric chemicals.
