1.5. Soil and Water Contamination Emissions

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define emission rate.

   Hint

   Think about how emissions are measured.

2. 2.

   What are fugitive emissions?

   Hint

   Consider where you may find unintentional emissions in industry.

3. 3.

   What comprises the emission rate?

   • Emission Factor
   • Activity Rate
   • Both A and B

   Hint

   Remember that these two components are essential for calculating emissions.

4. 4.

   True or False: Fugitive emissions are planned and controlled releases of pollutants.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the nature of 'fugitive' in this context.

5. 5.

   Design a monitoring system for an industrial facility to track both point and fugitive emissions. Consider factors like frequency, technologies, and reporting.

   Hint

   Think about what technologies can be used and how often inspections should occur.

6. 6.

   Using the Gaussian Dispersion Model, estimate the air quality impact of a specific industrial emission over 24 hours when the emission factor is given.

   Hint

   What calculations must be completed first for accurate input?
