chemical transport modeling

Chemical transport modeling is a scientific method used to simulate how pollutants, such as gases or particles, move and change in the atmosphere, water, or land over time. It combines knowledge of weather patterns, chemical reactions, and physical processes to predict where and how pollutants will spread, transform, or dissipate. This helps scientists and policymakers understand environmental impacts, forecast air quality, and develop strategies to reduce pollution. Essentially, it's like creating a detailed virtual map that tracks the journey of pollutants from their source to their eventual dispersion or removal.
