Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an industrial source emits pollutants at a height of 50m. If the mixing height is 80m, what can be inferred about the dispersion of pollutants at ground level?
💡 Hint: Consider how the relative heights affect pollution spread.
A model predicts that with an increase in mixing height due to warming temperatures, pollutant concentrations will decrease. Discuss the mechanisms involved.
💡 Hint: Think about how pollutants behave in warmer conditions.
