pollutant dispersion models

Pollutant dispersion models are tools scientists use to predict how pollutants from sources like factories or vehicles spread in the environment. They use mathematical equations that consider emissions, wind patterns, temperature, and geography to estimate where pollutants will go and how concentrated they might be. These models help assess environmental and health impacts, guide regulations, and inform mitigation strategies. Essentially, they simulate the movement of pollutants in the air or water to understand their distribution over time and space, aiding informed decision-making for a cleaner, healthier environment.
