Dispersion modeling

Dispersion modeling is a scientific method used to predict how pollutants, such as gases or particles, spread in the atmosphere after being released from sources like factories or vehicles. It considers factors like weather, wind, temperature, and topography to estimate the concentration and downwind movement of pollutants over distance and time. This helps assess environmental and health impacts, inform regulations, and develop strategies to reduce pollution exposure. Essentially, dispersion modeling provides a virtual map of pollution patterns to support safer and cleaner air management.
