Factors effecting Dispersion of air pollutants Emission point characteristic Nature of pollutants material Metrological condition Effect of terrain and anthropogenic structure In this chapter factor 1 is considered
Source characteristic • Most industrial effluent are discharge vertically into open air through stack or duct • As contaminated gas stream leave discharge point the plume tends to expand and mix with ambient air • While effluent plume, rising, bending and beginning to move horizontal, gaseous effluent are being diluted by ambient air and eventually dispersed towards the ground
Source characteristic • The plume rise is affected by • Inertia of the discharge gas (related to exist gas velocity and mass) • Plumes buoyancy (related to the exist gas mass relative to the surrounding air mass) • Increase velocity or gas temperature will increase the plume rise • Effective stack height = plume rise + physical stack height
Dispersion Model • Description of meteorological transport and dispersion process that is quantified in term of source and meteorological parameter during a particular time • Concentration of particular pollutant for specific location and time • Short term model • Climatologically model
Sy and Sz • Depend on stability of atmosphere
Inversion aloft Plume can not disperse vertically
