What does the term 'Gaussian Dispersion Model' refer to?
💡 Hint: Think about how we mathematically represent air pollution.
True or False: A higher stack height generally leads to better dispersion of pollutants.
💡 Hint: Consider what happens to emissions when they are released from greater heights.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A factory releases SO₂ at a rate of 200 g/s from a stack of height 75 meters. Calculate the expected concentration at a location 250 meters downwind under conditions classified as stability class B.
💡 Hint: Use the appropriate dispersion equations and consider how stability class influences σ.
Imagine we have three pollution sources near a residential area emitting various rates of SO₂. If each stack has a different height and stability class, discuss how you would approach estimating combined emissions and pollutant concentrations.
💡 Hint: Think about how the contributions from each source interact.
