Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a stack is emitting SO2 at a rate of 200 g/s from a height of 80 meters, estimate concentrations at 100 meters and 300 meters, taking into account a stability class of C. Calculate the values assuming appropriate sigma values.

💡 Hint: Ensure you account for the variations according to σ_y and σ_z for different stability classes.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of building downwash in urban environments, particularly how it affects air quality and human health around industrial areas.

💡 Hint: Consider real-life examples of buildings and industries in your explanation.
