Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a stack emitting 100 grams/second of CO2 at a height of 75m in a Stability Class C area, calculate the concentration at 200m downwind and explain how wind direction might alter this.

💡 Hint: Make sure to reference stability classes' impact on dispersion.

Challenge 2 Hard

Draft a comprehensive emergency response plan for a hypothetical chemical spill in an urban area, including at least three key actions based on predicted pollutant dispersion.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of mapping and analysis for effective response.
