What is the main assumption of the steady-state model?
💡 Hint: Think about what steady means in terms of measurements.
True or False: Higher emission sources lead to lower peak concentrations.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If an emission source expels pollutants at a rate of Q = 100 kg/s, and is situated at a height of 20 meters, how does this affect the distribution of pollutants? Calculate concentration if spread is defined by C3_y = 5m and C3_z = 3m.
💡 Hint: Start by understanding how to apply Gaussian dispersion equations with the given variables.
A factory emits pollutants from 15 meters high, with Q = 200 kg/s. Discuss how seasonal wind variation could influence the dispersion model and the expected change in peak concentration.
💡 Hint: Think about how wind shifts could reshape pollution impacts through their influence on dispersal paths.
